Congrats. I am slightly biased but I would pick ESADE. ESADE is especially known for tech /marketing and you truly can’t beat Barcelona. However, both are great schools so I think it comes down to what you value most. Below is a quick comparison
ESADE
+29% in technology
+31% marketing and sales
+198 student or so
+ Barcelona - more affordable city on the MED.
- lower ranked but still high
+Lower tuition
-Lower incomes in employment report, may be skewed due to high number that go to Spain/Latin America and or startups. According to FT 3 year USD PPP ESADE has slightly higher average though.
+known for collaboration, diversity and fun. Generally alums loves their time and I hear very minimal complaints.
HEC
-17% in technology
-11% go marketing and sales
-Bigger - almost 300 students.
-Paris - more expensive but it’s Paris.
+ higher ranked and better regarded in traditional industry (consulting/finance).
+ Higher incomes on employment report
