Hi guys! I really need your help with school selection.
Admitted：
ESSEC Asia Pacific MSc Marketing Management & Digital
EMlyon Paris MSc Digital Marketing & Data Science (5%scholarship with the late application, deposit paid)
Career Target:
Tier 1 Marketer in Luxury & Cosmetics industry（my dream company LVMH)
Tier 2 Internet & Consulting firms
Ideal Location:
Paris & other EU cities > Singapore > Shanghai
(I love the Parisian style, but Singapore seems a very booming city)
Linkedin Research:
ESSEC: Most alumni work in luxury companies in Singapore(LVMH, Richemont)， internet companies(Shopee/Razer), Meds(Sanofi), Consulting(Capgemini), FMCG(L'oreal); Another small half works in China, similar industries and companies; meanwhile, the advisor said we can apply for jobs in France, if we get the offer, the company will sponsor the visa.
EMlyon：Alumni work in Tech industry(Huawei PM in Poland, Amazon BA in Louxeburg, Tesla distribution analyst), Luxury(Chanel digital marketing & e-commerce), FMCG(L'oreal BI,Markter) , Data Consulting(Capgemini, Deloitte)...
Concerns:
1. ESSEC has a higher overall ranking and more luxury-related projects, but the location is in Singapore. I'd have to apply for full-time jobs in France after graduation as a foreigner and get the company to sponsor my Visa.
2. EMlyon has a great career outcome. However, it seems that I am more into the brand & product development & digital marketing track than marketing analyst. Will it be more beneficial to learn branding & New Product Development or data for my career in marketing?
3. Will graduating from the top 3 Business schools or top 5 Business schools be an influential factor for my career or future? Some people say it is a huge difference, and others don't. I wonder how EU people think about it.

If you are going for fall 21' classes. You don't exactly have time to apply and get admission and get through whole procedure. So I think you are left with Emylyon and ESSEC Singapore option.
Now, here.
Essec is definitely a better brand than Emylyon in terms of ranking, but you can't exactly misjudge Emylyon on basis of just ranking.
Paris is a great business hub and since you are interested in luxury goods livin'and interacting with Parisian people is of indefinite advantage.
Now,
Singapore is a blooming business hub in Asia Pacific and is all set to be Asia's luxury Market too.
So the problem here is that you won't regret going with either, so if you want to choose where you should go.
Go to linkedin -> see the companies offering most luxury Market job and their location -> I believe you will get to know where you will find good job opportunities.
Like I said both are great option you won't regret going with either.
And if you still want to analyse the better career options. Poking alumni at LinkedIn is a better option
Good Luck. ☺️
