No takers for my question??

Hello,

Many thanks for your question. My name is Jeroen (Associate Director of Admissions for US based candidates for ESADE). The asnwer to yuor question is certainly not an easy, straightforward one. Both options will clearly present advantages. What ESADE can offer you is a completely different experience, where you step out of your comfortzone, to immerse yourself in an international environment. Truly international! Different language, different culture, different experience and students from literally all over the world, with very different points of view. All of this is very much valued by any company that has an interest in recruiting globbaly savvy people. You will set your resume apart from all the candidates who decide to stay domestically. However, nobody can take away the higher risk of the international option. It is certaily a "safer bet" to stay domestically and do a PT MBA; the experience will certainly not be the same but nevertheless this is also a valid option. It is difficult (not impossible though) to work in Europe post MBA and many people return to their home zone for their first job post MBA, and then often afterwards rotate internationally. I would be more than happy to discuss in more detail via phone/Skype etc. I think I know who you are as you hold a deferred admissions from our school, but please feel free to reach out to me directly at [email protected]
