In Reply To: Would like to have a career overseas in Europe, but would like to work for a american based company.. what do you thinkwould be the best school for a International MBA.. Also out of: France, Germany, Switzerland, or even Denmark, Sweden.. what country would be best to know the language for a international finance career? I mean best by: most jobs, higest salaries, etc.. thanks
Message: Obviously, the two overseas programs that are best known in the US would be IMD (Switzerland) and INSEAD (France). That said, if you want to get a better sense of the rest of the field, check out the Financial Times business school rankings. Not to appear arrogant, but outside of the two programs I mentioned, most American companies are ignorant about the quality of various programs or their relative strengths and weaknesses. If you are intent on heading over there for the MBA, you might want to consider an exchange program. Then you get the best of both worlds -- a (partly) European education and an American degree, which will be viewed more positively by American recruiters. Best of luck!!
