Duke Fuqua vs. Cambridge Judge

---20130316更新---
昨天晚上收到Duke email, 说给我打电话未果， 让我回个电话，但是我手机上并无显示来电。 同时收到email说申请有了update，让我去查看。觉得应该是offer, 但还是少许担心，结果一看，果然和我预料的差不多，唯一没料到的是，没有$
这回真的是为难了，前些天就预感会有这个dilemma, 所以预先发了这个投票的帖子cambridge vs. duke, 这回变现实了。。。 非常感谢已经给我出谋划策的朋友
在这里加些内容，望大家继续出建议哈：
Duke no $, 2 years;
Cambridge with 20k $, 1 year;
总体费用来说肯定Duke比Cambridge高1倍。另外不知道duke在香港找工作情况，昨天听个师兄说香港的话cambridge比duke好使, 如果是美国那就不用想一定是duke因为美国好像不太认英国1年的MBA即便是cambridge, 而如果中国大陆的话，和香港一样就选cambridge, 因为duke远不如cambridge知道的人多。
而我本人背景engineer,想转consulting 或 GM。 短期美国或香港， 长期说真的现在还看不清，想亚洲，因为毕竟是中国人，我觉得在美国可能找个稳定工作不成问题，但如果想进入高层还是得回国，毕竟国内机会多且语言文化通。另外我属于大龄申请者，30多岁了都。我的背景可见http://forum.chasedream.com/North_American_MBA/thread-818203-1-1.html
真心感谢各位给建议的朋友！

两个offer，选哪个呢?

本人方向是GM和Consulting，短期想在美国或香港，长期应该是在亚洲

Cambridge  Judge 在美国好找工作吗? Duke Fuqua 在香港好找工作吗?

大家帮我出出主意，多谢啦~~~

Congrats on the admits!

The general rule is that go to school in the region where you want to get a job.

I will speak for a Fuqua perspective.

Fuqua is very strong in consulting and general management. For general management, it is harder to get into for international student because of visa issues; however, there are a few that will sponsor you, especially if you want to go back to Asia in the long term. Most consulting firm sponsors visa; however, getting a green card is a long process, and consulting is a hard lifestyle with up-or-out policy, so I’m not sure how many end up getting a green card through consulting.

The two major employment opportunities for Fuqua grads in HK are consulting and banking. The general feeling is that for Chinese students, placement in HK is much easier than it is for US. You can do GM in HK, but it may take some networking.

I heard that an added benefit of 2 year MBA versus 18 month MBA is the ability to switch careers. Since 2 year MBA programs (at least in the US) have a very robust internship tradition, which allows companies to try out future hires. This is more of an issue if you are going from GM to consulting than from consulting to GM (unless you are switching industry as well).

Good luck!

I like Judge very much because I have been there.

Duke has better fame especially for US and China.

If Judge gave you money, it is worthy trying. But I am based in the UK, so I am biased.

我也是担心Duke在中国甚至亚洲的声望好像不及Cambridge...

Why everyone here thinks US is a better immigration choice?

For sure, bigger country and more opportunities.

But Europe has much better social welfare, despite some countries going down hill.

If you do not want become some super director, Europe is less competitive, easier life.

And afer all, how many Chinese become super director in the states?

I found UK is easier to settle down. If you have a job, u get green card after 5 years and then you can naturarise after another year.
