I plan to work in London following business school which I hope to begin in 2017, and I currently have an offer from LBS (London Business School) for their MBA/MiF programs. I understand from others that M7 schools in the US may command greater presence even for roles in Europe. I believe the particular example I heard was that Columbia and Booth MBAs were beating out LBS grads for London finance roles. Any truth in this and if so, what do you think is the cutoff where LBS becomes a better option than going to the US? (and any other schools in Europe to consider?)
Also, if given the choice between their MBA program vs MiF (1 year post-experience masters in finance), what would be the better choice? I will be 26 years old, 4 years of work experience in real estate (investment banking and currently PE). I am hoping to use this experience to transition into infrastructure IB at a bulge bracket in London.
Thanks
