[Help] IE vs IESE MBA

by pcs » Fri Jun 24, 2022 2:33 am
I'm a 28 y old M planning to do an MBA in IE (Madrid) or IESE (BCN)


My background:
• Engineer/Customer Engineer / IT Sales in Top Big tech. Currently, in Munich, Germany [specialized in Data Science; Cybersecurity, and overall Operations Management]
• Previous co-founder of successful scale-up (7M$ investment). COO
• Some experience in consulting (did not enjoy the lifestyle of early positions)
My future plans:
• Stay in Iberia (PT or ES) - with the flexibility to work there or in other locations
• Main areas of interest: big tech, scale-ups; Have also thought about pharma, banking, and consulting - I tend to do OK in more political/corporate settings.


My doubts between IESE and IE:
• IESE looks better on the ranks and looks great to prepare for a more corporate setting like banking /consulting
• IE is not so good on the ranks, however, has great prestige in Iberia and a great curriculum towards tech (specially scale-ups) - BUT I am already very fluent in Big tech so I'm worried I will not learn a lot
What wisdom can you share?


Thanks in advance,
