From engineering graduates, the brand effect is not so obvious. Most of the people who interview you are tech persons and they really don't care much about your school. There are a few MIT graduates in my group, and I don't see how they have an advantage over others in terms of their career. Also not all the bosses are looking for engineers who can bring him/her values. Usually in a group, only a small portion of engineers, such as the architechure, are key persons. For the others, what the boss cares about is really whether you can work with other team members. That's why in most of interviews, you will be interviewed by many of the team members.
For MBA graduates, I agree that if you decide to go back, you really should go for the schools who are well known in China.
I also agree with chipmunk that we usually don't have the luxury to make the choice among many schools. The question is: 1) should I accept a second tier school's offer? 2)if I get an offer from a 10-20 school but it does not have a strong program in whichever field I am interested. Should I accpet the offer. ..... there are many such kind of concerns. It is really a case by case selection.

I am just using this as one of the examples. Sometimes you may need some safety schools. These schools fit your background so you are more likely to get in. However, they just don't have so strong programs as other dream schools in the areas that I am interested in. You know, there is not only one selection criteria.
