I am a MSc Strategic Management student at RSM (Rotterdam School of Management).
I am applying for an exchange. My current options are: St Gallen, ESSEC, Copenhagen Business School, Stockholm School of Economics and IE Madrid.
What business school do you recommend?
My goal is to work for one of the top management consultancy firms (MBB) as I graduate, or similar positions within management and strategy.
Background: I'm Italian and I did my bachelor in Italy.

Hi. Congrats on your Master's 
There is a bit of a risk with the exchange programs.
While they are great for general exporation, learning new culture and a new city, they have a tendency to distract from recruiting and create a diversion. Don't get me wrong, going on an exchange with Pass/Fail only grades can be the best semester of your program but at the same time, you can miss the recruiting cycle at your university.
My suggestion would be to see/check which schools potentially present the best options/opportunities for recruiting to MBB/Consulting and see if you can double your chances perhaps by recruiting at your home school AND at the exchange school (usually they won't limit your recruiting options at the exchange program).

Hi bud,
I'm an Msc Finance student at IE Madrid (Formerly Sept'20 intake but deferred to April'21 intake). But I do have a ton of friends in MiM right now and most of them are in the same boat as you. Although an exchange semester does look like a good idea, the chances of it helping you land a job are comparable to if you'd do that semester at RSM. RSM is one of the best B-schools out there and I'm sure you'll get plenty of networking opportunities there. Moving to another school for a sem poses a couple of challenges, namely:
1. A new city means you'll need time to adjust. Time that could've been spent networking for your job. This adjustment may be in the form of language, cultural shock, meeting the right people to network or just any n number of reasons.
2. Netherlands is one of the best places to look for a job right now. And RSM puts you in that unique position to be in that country while you complete your Msc. So do consider that as well.
I believe there are certain benefits of an exchange semester. But keeping in mind the Covid restrictions and uncertainty all over the world, my 2 cents would be to stay at RSM and network as much as you can.
Good luck for whatever you choose.
Cheers!
