Hi everyone,
I really need your help,
I am about to send my applications to pursue a master's degree. However, I am really between the MiF and the MiM at ESSEC. Indeed, after contacting many students there from different backgrounds, I am still confused.
Indeed, in France, the traditional route seems to be the MiM - Grande école, it is said to be the most renowned and legitimate route. I have also heard that for potential employers (such as Top tier consultancy firms) it is very important to have a Grande école and that any other MSc like finance are not as legitimate.
On the other hand, I think that abroad there is no difference between the MiF and MiM, but could someone tell me if I decide to pursue the MiF knowing that I want to specialize in finance at some point (which I can also do in the MiM thanks to options), do you think I would be closing myself off to potential opportunities in France?

Are you from France? Do you want to live in France ? Anyway if you want to work in Finance it’s better NOT to work in France. Having a MiM myself, I’d say go with the MiF it’s easier to get in and you’ll be in a better position abroad for finance jobs (yes I’m talking bulge bracket banks PE etc.) good luck.

I am from France but don’t necessarily want to work in France in the future, ideally I would love to go back to London after my master as I am currently pursuing my bachelor degree in London but again same problem for job in finance with the brexit …
i am just a bit worried and want to keep most of my options open
Why would you say that France is not a great place to be in finance ?
Thank you so much for your answer!
