Fellow European, tough question for you. With unclear future career plan, from MBB would you join INSEAD as a non sponsored consultant ?

Would consider the following questions:
- Do you have a masters degree already?
- Do you plan to work outside of Europe?
- Do you want to dramatically change direction in your career?

Return on investment on an MBA in Europe - especially from MBB is pretty bad, so if you do not have a specific purpose of doing it (e.g., career change or moving to some place where MBAs are higher regarded) I would not do it.
If you do not have an MSc it is a different game and I would do it for sure just to not lose out on future opportunities. MBA might not be as highly regarded in Europe as elsewhere, but you gotta have some sort of add-on to your undergrad to stay competitive when applying for new opportunities

I think for European planning to work in Europe a MBA only makes sense if you have a MSc in a technical field or “only” a BSc (incl. in business) - even more so if self funded.

I did that, happy to chat.
