Hello Guys,
I have recently been admitted to the MIM at ESSEC and INSEAD. I'm having a hard time deciding between the two and I was hoping you guys could help me out.
A bit about myself:
I have recently graduated in mechanical engineering from India and am currently working in my family's automotive business. Going forward, I aspire to get into management consulting immediately after my masters and eventually venture into entrepreneurship or expand my family back in India.
Both of these programs seem like really good options but, of course, have their advantages and disadvantages.
For Eg. INSEAD's program is just 10 months and is very new. But INSEAD has one of the strongest brand names and is considered the go-to place for consulting. Furthermore, I love INSEAD's focus on developing a global perspective by studying across three continents during the course. On the other hand, ESSEC MIM is one of the oldest and most prestigious programs.
Since I am a fresher, I believe a two-year program such as ESSEC's will provide me more time to learn and prepare myself for the job market. However, since I also plan on returning to India eventually, I feel, INSEAD has an edge over ESSEC, as it can provide me better opportunities outside Europe in the longer run.
Do you guys have any advice/recommendations on choosing the right school (Excluding the financial aspect)?
I would highly welcome and appreciate your inputs

Congratulations on your admits! Fantastic job!
Hope you were able to join us for the Master's Spotlight https://gmatclub.com/forum/master-s-spo ... 46200.html and INSEAD is actually presenting today!
and we also have an INSEAD Zoom call today with their AdCom and applicants for the Master's degree.
I am not an expert in MiM, at least not yet... but I am with you in your thinking. Everyone in Asia knows the INSEAD name. While the Master's program is new, it is unlikely to be terrible and unlikely to be inferior. You will have some bumps along the road such as getting the recruiting program established (which is a big deal) but it is a risk/investment that may very well pay off.
In terms of the 1-year vs. 2-year programs, you have gone to school for 4 years. You want another 2 to learn? I can't imagine that being the truth
I think you will burn out soon enough. Maybe I am off.... I usually recommend 2-year programs for those looking to switch fields/careers since they involve an internship and an opportunity to get some experience under one's belt, esp if it is a strong brand name. It can help with learning French but I don't know if ESSEC can get you a good internship. A junky internship does not help.
I would find out from the ESSEC grads how much they actually help with employment and internships. That's the key question. If there is a ton of help and everyone gets an awesome internship then it is a good safe option. However, if it is hit and miss, I'd rather have INSEAD on my resume.
