Hi Everyone,
I am a Tech Professional, I have worked in Ericsson for 19 months in Domain Support after completing my Engineering from IIIT Bhopal, INDIA. I took a year-long career break to pursue Independent Filmmaking and was somewhat successful. I decided to pursue a degree in General Management to venture into consulting, with options open to Product Management and Business Operations.
I applied to a total of 4 Schools and have heard back from all of them, and I have narrowed it down to two choices.
HEC Paris MiM (via JASIF) - Denied Cornell MPS in Management - DeniedESSEC MiM - AcceptedESCP MiM (via JASIF) - Accepted Duke Fuqua MMS: FOB - Accepted (Kellogg and Booth refused to consider applicants who graduated more than 2 years ago, Ross refused to consider the application for a different reason.)I am now confused between
Duke Fuqua MMS vs ESSEC MiM.I have done my research and found the following information, I need your help in deciding which one is a better program in General and for me, considering career prospects, life after graduation, prestige/recognition, etc.
-
ESSEC MiM is a 2-3 years long flexible course offering Junior Consulting Experience, and specialized chairs like ABAC, GDC, CIC, etc., whereas Duke Fuqua MMS wraps in 10 months focusing on case-based learning. - ESSEC requires French Language proficiency but many European countries don't, whereas USA is English speaking. Questions:-1. Which is a better course for me coming from a Non-Business background?2. Which course has better work opportunities and holds strong to get a job in India as well in Future?3. Which school works better for Strategy and consulting, and looks better on CV for recruiters and other B-Schools?I have already paid the deposit of $6512 to ESSEC Business School. (since they released the results a month ago)
