I am software team leader working in the automotive industry since 7 years , currently I am looking to make a career shift to consultancy or business development in europe or Dubai.
I have an international experience, I worked in 3 different countries , two in Europe and one in middle east.
I scored 630 in GMAT
I have been in contact with IMD and IESE , they have made a profile assessment and they indicated that there is an initial fit between my profile and the universities. I believe that they are great universities but I am concerned regarding two points:
1) the size of their networks in the middle east?
2) the price and fees specially that I am planning to take a loan (I believe as well that economy now is not in its best position because of covid 19)
for example I found in case of IMD , I will need to pay around 1200 usd monthly for 10 years for prodigy finance
to be honest I would prefer IMD because of the shorter duration.
because of the fees issues, I started to consider another universities.
I got in contact with RSM , Imperial , Cass , Manchster, warwick.
After comparison :I felt that I would be more interested in RSM or Manchster because of their internship options.
I have another option as well , I am currently living in Munich and Iese is providing new EMBA in Munich , I can apply to it and continue working that will decrease the burden of the fees.However I am not sure if the emba at IESE will help me to do the career shift

Hello Omar8989..
Welcome to Gmatclub. Your profile looks interesting with international experience. However, your GMAT is on the lower side for IESE and IMD. For the other schools, I think it is fine.
As you know, IMD's class size is quite small as its network size. This does not mean, networking options are less. There is a good network of IMD in the middle east especially in UAE. IESE is also a great program and includes the internship. Its Case base studies is the prime difference among other schools. The fee for IMD and IESE is almost the same and the living expenses would be same considering the cost of living at both locations. So, for IMD vs IESE - choose the one which suits your best and can help you achieve your goal. Both programs are fabulous. BUT, you must push your score.
The rest of the schools (RSM , Imperial , Cass , Manchster, Warwick) are in the next tier. Your profile is competitive. Are you sure there is an internship option in RSM? I am not sure.
IESE EMBA is also a great program but generally the shifts chances are not so favorable. Overall, if you want a great education and move up in the same firm or industry, I think it is a good option.
I would recommend to apply in at least 2 safe schools such as RSM and Manchester other than IESE and IMD.

Hi, If you want a career shift, Full-Time MBA is the right option, EMBA would not give much mileage for a career shift.
