Hi, I know the choice between Cambridge Judge and INSEAD is clear as of today, leaning towards INSEAD.

However I would like to ask how big you see the gap between them in terms of exit ops and experience of the program? I am guessing which MBA should I focus my efforts into and cannot find any information to compare them.

Thank you!

I think the gap is fairly broad, especially outside of Europe. So it is certainly a no brainer towards INSEAD

So, what would you say this gap translates into? Large difference in quality of post-MBA placements? Salary after MBA? Or is it the education itself?

Hi SonicMaster, it would help to know your goals post-mba, where you want to work, in what function...
Your choice of school will depend a lot on these parameters.

Hi SonicMaster,

Your PM didn't have any information about your profile, nationality, aspirations and career plans. So I searched on the public threads and found this. But you haven't shared those details here either. Which is why my inputs might seem too broad.

I attended Cambridge because I wanted a bigger university experience while being in a small class (we only had 104 students with very diverse backgrounds). I'm from India where the Cambridge University brand is very strong. My career objectives were met - complete career change from tech to finance. So, I'm quite happy with my decision.

I did not apply to INSEAD, so can't compare the two in terms of experience. But if you are looking for a strong 'MBA' brand (as opposed to univ brand) and an interest in consulting INSEAD is a solid choice.

One of my classmates (brilliant guy) had admits from INSEAD and Cambridge. He topped the class and now works at McKinsey.

Disclaimer: This was over a decade back, so you'd be better off checking with current students or recent alumni.
