Hey guys,
So I am a University of Sydney graduate looking to study either a master's in management or master's in finance overseas.
My GRE score is 329 and I believe my overall profile is quite strong.
I have been admitted to the INSEAD MIM program, IE master in finance and am waiting on a response to my HEC master in the international finance application.
I have not applied to any USA programs yet but I am open to suggestions however I am pre-experienced and so I believe this will limit my options in the USA.
My issue is I have also been admitted to SAIF university in China with a full tuition fee waiver scholarship. As you can see in their employment report here ( https://en.saif.sjtu.edu.cn/about/newsroom/244.html ) their starting salaries seems to be very high compared to Eu universities. I do not speak Mandarin however nor have any idea about living in China. Would it be worth giving up oppourtinies to study at INSEAD and other top-level institutions for the tuition fee waiver and very strong employment report of SAIF

Congratulations on your admits.
I checked the link and the employment report. It seems from the picture they show at the very top, 90% of the class are China residents.
I don’t know a whole lot about the Chinese schools but this would be a gamble to go to China. I spent a semester in Hong Kong on an exchange and tried to find an internship there since the school load wasn’t very strong. It was impossible without having local language skills. This is Hong Kong a number of years ago where they had a lot of international companies. They had a lot of ex-pats and you would think plenty of internships for people without language skills. All of my classmates also tried to find an internship and we will give up. It wasn’t just me, it will be a limiting factor to not know the language in both day-to-day things as well as job search. In addition, I don’t know what kind of job permit you are supposed to have and how that works…
On the other hand, even if you cannot find a job locally, you still get a free masters program. Would you be able to leverage the name to recruit elsewhere? I personally have never heard of it. Is that going to be a problem to recruit wherever you were planning to live and work after graduation? I think the program should be known in Singapore but I’m not sure. This is kind of like most products coming out of China, you’ve never heard of them and you’re not sure if it’s an iPhone killer or a piece of garbage. It can be both. There’s definitely some good stuff there but there’s also quite a bit of garbage.
