Hi Eric & Team of Experts.
I need an opinion on pursuing an MBA from HULT Shanghai.
Here is what I think:
1)As much as I value the US MBA, my fear is being from India I may not find a job on completion of the MBA. The US MBA really works out expensive since the Dollar has gone upto INR 53.
2)Also pursuing an MBA from the US & then looking for a Job in APAC may not be the smartest thing to do - correct me if I am wrong-loan repayment issues.
3)S'pore & Japan were hailed in the early 90's to become superpowers ,while they have been successful , still far away from becoming the ultimate superpower-in terms of economic might. US still calls the shots & will continue to ferment tension in APAC so that they hold onto their vantage position.
4) Hult is an unknown brand in China so i am unsure how recruiters will see it in Shanghai.
5)The profs who teach in Boston & SF are supposed to be good , but I am not sure if they do visit Shanghai.
6)Boston has a lot of colleges & that presents a huge networking opportunity, not sure if the same will happen in Shanghai. Industry Bigwigs visit Boston -which can be a meet, greet & share CV opportunity.
7) What are the VISA issues I will face on completion of the course in Shanghai vs What I will face in the US.
Infact all this raises serious questions about the very feasibility of Hult itself. Experts please provide qualitative & quantitative inputs. Thanks in advance.
Interms of profile I have more than 5 years work ex in Sales & Marketing. I hope to transition out of Sales into Marketing & Strategy entirely on completion of my MBA.
