hi alok...your blog is definitely interesting..!! i too have hsg on my mind for MBF..mostly due to VFM factor.. but i've read on some forums that job prospects for students passing out of the institute are not great if they aren't native speakers of german.. sounds strange coz i always thought of switzerland as banking hub of sorts...!
your perspective is awaited

I was considering going to St. Gallen, and even visited the school. From my experience, it is a place you will love to be a student, and the job possibilities post graduation are good aswell, given some criterias.

St. Gallen is very recognized in the German speaking Europe, and also fairly reputable in the United Kingdom. For maximum benefit of whatever degree you want to pursue, you have to consider what you would like to do post graduation. So, where are you from, where are you going to go post graduation, and what are the alternatives to St. Gallen?
