[求助]USA top8-10学校在欧洲找工作前景如何？

davidzhn

被一个magic 7之外的排名8-10位的学校录取， 目标是想在欧洲找工作。 但是看了BW 的一个thread, 发现top8-10要在欧洲找工好像挺玄。

所谓top8-10的学校: tuck，michigan*,duke, Darden, UCLA, NewYork,Berkeley，Yale, Cornell.

	You are right that coming from a TOP US school gives you an edge in working in Europe in the traditional MBA positions. Your best bet would be in one of the top 5 schools. And there are 7 top-5 schools The usual case is certain companies, the traditional MBA recruiters, primarily investment banks, consulting firms and certain big multinational firms, tend to recruit for their European headquarters directly from the US schools. They come on campus, have presentations, informational sessions, dinners, receptions, interviews, the whole nine yards, so that you don't really feel the difference from their New York counterparts. There's also a big event called EuroTrek that takes place in London every November during Thanksgiving. The schools that participate are the usual suspects: Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, MIT, Kellogg, Chicago, Columbia. The companies are the biggest multinational firms, primarily investment banks and consulting firms. You can find more details here: http://www.mba7eurotrek.com/ On the other hand, if you target more regional positions or smaller companies, your best bet are the European schools, since these employers either can't afford recruiting on the other side of the Atlantic or simply doesn't make sense for them since they wouldn't find enough interest to justify it. With regard to Mich,UVA, Duke, Tuck, etc. to be honest I don't know. I would guess though that biharibabu (atewari2) is probably right. They offer better opportunities in the US while LBS/Insead/IESE would give a definite edge in EU. As a European I'm pretty comfortable in saying that outside the top (very) few US schools you get minimal brand recognition in the UK - and less in France and Germany. Think about how you guys feel about Ashridge - in the UK competes pretty squarely with the top programmes in the world (its grads often earn more than LBS for example). How far is that brand going to take you in the USA? So these are not bad schools - they just aren't famous brands. Incidentally I disagree with the comment that the school you went to matters 5 years down the line. I think your first post MBA job matter (by an order of magnitude) much more. Personally I'd rather have No-name Tech + GE Capital than Harvard + Bill & Bob's Hardware Kansas.

USA top8-10学校估计在非洲找工作更困难。。。。。为何要逆势而为呢？如果你想在欧洲发展，自然上欧洲的好学校机会多些，为何非要去美国呢

Here is also a comment from BW.

Top-tier investment banks and consulting firms for example recruit first in the top US schools and then in the European ones. It is arguable whether recruiting in European schools is merely filling the gaps (for example for 20 spots they make 20 offers in the US and 14 people accept so they have 6 spots to fill with applicants from european schools) or if they have pre-allocated a certain number of spots. No matter what though they definitely recruit very aggresively in the US. And since the number of students in those top schools interested in working in Europe is very small, firms literally chase you and you have a fairly easy time in networking and ultimately landing the job you want (especially if you are European).

I personally know the Top10 schools have very good chance in the Top consulting firms in European office, BCG etc.  The bottomline is simple, the MBA education is still something American. The INSEAD/LBS are good schools but if you are from Top10 US schools, you are at least in the same postition to get interviews for working in EU.
