Hi All,
For a while now I have wanted to do an MBA but for different reasons from why I want to do it now.
Previously, I was only interested in pursuing an MBA to break into consulting. However, now the primary motivator behind pursuing an MBA is to work in Asia and primarily the Philippines.
My wife has recently moved to the Philippines to start Med school and I have been looking for work there albeit with limited success. I have a civil engineering background but I am working in management consulting in Australia and I think my struggles are sort of coming from the fact that although I am in consulting my firm is really only known in the local market.
And as such, I wanted to get the opinion of the community here on which MBA program they felt would give me the greatest possible chance in snagging a role in the Philippines that paid quite decently ($100k plus).
From my research INSEAD seems to be the most logical choice but I am also reluctant to put all my eggs in one basket.
I am open to any and all suggestions and happy to answer any questions.
Thanks team,
Hi
tanzimislam,
The guarantee of a job in a particular geography does not come with even the best of programs
There can never be any such assurance. You have to perform at business school and you will have what you want
Sounds cliched but it is very true!
That said, you need to first focus on getting a GMAT score. The process of shortlisting schools fit for you makes more sense post that
Happy to answer any follow-up question.
All the best!
