Current INSEAD students taking questions

shaoji

To alvachang：
1. Font 和SG 2边switch的时候，一般对招聘没什么影响（前提是这个公司态度比较诚恳），这个不用太担心。但是如果你去沃顿的话，可能有点2边不讨好的问题，不过也是case by case
2. 好像现在的趋势是大家毕业都想留在亚洲，谁叫亚洲货币处于升值阶段哪。留欧洲的话其实机会不少，我们这届有同学留在了欧洲。
3. 亚洲reputation的问题，既然你知道INSEAD去MC的这么多，可想而知在MC领域基本上知名度还是很不错的，至于投行之类的，只能说还可以，一般大行也不会鄙视，不过INSEAD申请投行实习时间不好，所以对于想转行的人比较困难点，当然也有人转行成功的。
4. 和LBS没什么好比较的，我们也没上过LBS，只能说欧洲有名的就那么几个，申请职位更多看你背景和表现。你要留欧洲留伦敦又要做投行，个人觉得可能 LBS稍微好点，毕竟近点，不过INSEAD去伦敦的人也超过，就算在新加坡这边的也直接过去做实习或者full time的。
5. 新加坡的career service还算认真负责的，表现也颇积极，引进了一些新公司。
6. 谈古的话，我也不清楚（惭愧），不过你进来了就会发你一本INSEAD 的历史书，好几百页，慢慢看看说不定能找到答案。个人觉得可能欧洲向来少MBA，但是MC总得开展业务，全部从美国搞过来肯定水土不服，那只能大量从 INSEAD等几个为数不多的MBA里面招了，没上过其他学校的课，不知道有多大区别，但是整整半个学年的课都是自由选择的，其实也很难说课程设置。反正这些也不重要，重要的是几乎所有的MC都会对INSEAD有所青睐，而top tier的更加会直接来学校面试，几乎隔三岔五就有MC来做宣讲，差不多到最后你都会烦的。另外，今年的大陆学生只要申请过MC的，几乎最后都拿到一个或多个MC的offer，所以这个不用担心。

集中回答招生人数和今年就业的问题，

一般来说INSEAD每个国家不接受超过10%，也就是说一个intake学校最多可以收40个左右，目前也只有阿三们达到这个极限。学校还是很欢迎中国学生的。平均一个intake大陆籍的在10个左右，完全大陆背景的在5个左右。

中国学生就业除非背景很特殊的，一般也是去MC和IB为主，这届刚毕业的，基本上大家都找到满意的工作，当然也不是完全定下来了，因为一般每个人都拿到几个offer。去投行和金融机构（包括大公司的金融高层管理培训计划）与去咨询的（包括大公司的BD)大概一半一半。底薪其实这几个行业都差不多在INSEAD平均薪水10-12万美金。当然sign on和其它福利区别较大。地点的话，基本上咨询的都以回国为主，投行业务的以香港为主。

Sino, you can take metro to Gare de Lyon and then transfer to a train to get to Fontainebleau (in Gare de Lyon). However, if you have a lot of stuff with you, I'd suggest you think of taking a cab.

See you after new year.

The finals for P2 are finished. We had a super hardcore finance final but who cares. Fun time!!!

Thanks a lot! inseadsh. I am quite annoyed by the issue how to get to fonty. My flight will arrive at 5:30 pm.

Anyway I plan to take bus from Roissy CDG to gare de lyon. The landlord agrees to pick me up at the fonty station.

Since I have no SIM card in France, which one I need to buy just for one-time use (to inform the landlord which train I will take)? We'll take two big baggages and other stuffs... The first challenge for my family. 

inseadsh

Sino, i think you probably can buy Virgin pre-pay card in CDG. It's kind of cheap (15 euros for the SIM card and 5 euros for phone calls).

Good luck to your traveling...

Btw, since most of us (nnm, stringscn...etc) will be away traveling during the Xmas vacation, we might not be able to answer your questions here on time. Please bear with us and wish everybody a Merry X'mas and a Happy New Year!

hi, glad to join you guys finally.

I have chosen font in my application. but after reading shaoji's post, i'm thinking whether i should stay in singapore. Although going to font can help with international exposure, it seems the sg side also got good career perspective. in terms of living expenses, sg can be half that of font's.

the question is, is it possible to make the switch before school starts? Would it be better if i give practical reasons like living expenses, or career aspiration in asia? Thanks!
