Hi guys,
I would appreciate insight into the following: which school (Booth or Yale) would give me better career prospects in EUROPE post-MBA in corporate strategy in big pharma?
My question is very specific because I understand that Booth has better rankings but it’s in finance and economics, maybe even marketing. I’m dead set on corporate strategy because I want to work for a multinational in order to be able to ask for their European office and come back to Europe. I’m not an EU citizen (American), so I need the company to sponsor my return. I’m interested in learning more about:
Which school has a more international brand for multinationals? I know that the Yale brand is automatically recognized by almost anyone, but does Booth still pull its weight in Big Pharma internationally?
Which school would offer more recruiting opportunities abroad, whether that’s through already established relationships with certain multinationals with offices abroad or through alumni? Booth alumni are mainly in finance and consulting in Europe, safe four people maybe that I’ve found. I’ve found Yale Alumni in Europe in Big Pharma, but they studied their MD, PhD or postdoc at Yale... and that seems even more removed from the Yale College experience to me. How accessible really is the wider network? Or does it matter? I’ve heard that having the Yale.edu email will prompt people to respond even cold call emails.
Thank you in advance for your help!
P.S. Going to INSEAD or HEC are not viable options at this point for me. I’ve rejected these offers already because it would actually be more expensive than going to either Yale and Booth, and because a one-year program is not appealing with the current covid19 situation.

Hey there julierox,
Congratulations on getting into some incredible schools! I'm Dan, a 2016 SOM grad, and am happy to give you some context to the recruiting and networking scene at SOM and Yale.
My experience has been that as a function of part of SOM's mission, which is to become the most closely integrated business school with its parent university, the networking extends out of SOM and into the greater University, across all Graduate and Professional Schools and the College. Anecdotally, I was able to secure my dream job through networking with a Yale College alumnus who co-founded the company I interned at and subsequently returned after my second year. I think even more incredible is that he subsequently flew out every single week for a quarter from Silicon Valley to New Haven to teach a joint class at SOM and YLS. I recognize that this is merely a sample size of 1, but in my experience, it is representative of the networking that you can take advantage of as an SOM student.
As you mentioned, there is a very strong presence of SOM and University alumni in the Bio-Pharma industry, and can confirm that SOM is also a Corporate Strategy powerhouse.
Feel free to DM me if you have any questions and congrats again!
