Any ISB grads that could help with this:

1. What sort of international offers do companies/firms make at ISB? As in, what roles/companies/firms and what locations?

2. How often do ISB grads at consulting firms transition abroad having started in India roles?

Hi ratbert3334

1. You might find the following snippet useful (taken directly from ISB's placement report):

We continued with our momentum of placing our students at International locations. Firms from Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Nigeria, Dubai and other parts of the world have come and hired talent from ISB in the past. Our graduates have gone on to lead some of the leading corporations around the globe in sectors as
diverse as Finance, FMCG, Technology, among others. 22 International companies participated in placements for the Class of 2018 and made 42 offers. Arthur D Little; Dubai,
Cargill, Chemaf, Damac, Siemens, Kalpataru International were among the international companies that made their presence felt on the ISB campus.


2. Some of them do, but you would of course understand that this is firm-driven and market-dictated, not school-driven. A lot would depend on one's functional expertise, practice, and opportunities for international mobility within that practice. That said, if you are getting hired for a certain geography and office, it would be reasonable to assume that most of your work at least in the initial 2-3 years will be focused on work in that geography.

1. The numbers leave something to be desired. The website notes 24 international offers in 2019 for a class of 884. These are just offers, how many were actually taken up hasn't been clarified. Frankly I dont understand why they have to be so cloak and dagger about things.

2. The 2-3 year time period is what current/past MBB's have also told me. Having said that, you have to be a top performer to actually make the switch.

This is something concerned to many applicants/students applying/studying at regional schools such as ISB, NUS, etc. Thank you for bringing this topic into discussion. We will try to cover this topic (State of international placements at regional schools) in great detail in Career Forum in the coming period. souvik101990
