Hi all,
I have received offers from KATZ (50% scholarship), UTD (80% scholarship) and ASU (No scholarship) for Full-Time MBA Fall-2020.
Which school will be best for doing and MBA mainly in Operations/Supply Chain specialization
My profile details: INTERNATIONAL STUDENT, INDIA.
1. Work Ex:06 years (Engineering, Energy/Power Industry, Control Systems Domain)
2. Desired roles: Ops/Strategy Consulting (first choice) and Operations/Supply Chain Manager Jobs (second choice).
3. Target Companies: Amazon, Toyota, Rockwell Automation, Texas Instruments (Tech Industry, Operations Jobs) and EY, AT Kearney, Deloitte Consulting (Consulting Jobs).
4. GRE Score: 320.
Which school would be best for the operations/supply chain management and will offer roles in the said companies?
Also, I know that W.P.Carey is good in Ops/SCM but is it worth paying 80 lacs (110,000$) for it over the others?
My advice is to go with the money.
If that is indeed what you desire. Katz is becoming more popular for offering an additional MS to their incoming class just to make sure that they get that STEM designation.
Regardless, my advice to my clients usually is to do a little homework, take a step back and look at the return on investment over a 12 year period.
Talk to the alumni, ask about their salary increase in 2-4 years
Also, caution- Katz shows salary with the signing bonus, unlike other schools that show it separately.
If you do really want to stay in Supply chain, I do have some additional suggestions but its entirely upto u to ask me in PM.
Consulting jobs are hard and seems as if none of the Alums told you that Deloitte and PWC have stopped international recruitment at a lot of Universities, check out with the current students as to if it is the case into the schools you got into.
My suggestion to you is to check in with alumni, see if the placement is assured, then make a salary trade-off, find the money in your savings account 12 years from now. The one that yields the benefit is definitely the place to be in.
