Has anyone gone to INSEAD while intending to end up in the US afterwards? I’m enrolled to start this fall and getting cold feet 🙈

Plenty of times. As someone who attended LBS as a US citizen and ended back up in the states - can absolutely be done, but you’ll have to put in some legwork to get in front of US based recruiters/teams. I had no issue in this regard. It even helped me stand out from the army of M7s applying!

INSEAD grad here, interviewed with MBB and others in chicago and nyc. Chose AP and currently based in nyc.

I went abroad for my mba and would do it again in a heart beat. It opens you up internationally for sure.

INSEAD here, plenty of alums at BCG NYC (and MBB in general) if that’s where you’re headed. Totally doable given that you have a US work authorization

Totally makes sense. I haven’t looked at the logistics to seriously yet, but that’s something I was concerned about.

Although the appeal to live and study abroad again is really strong for me. I think it is a pretty unique differentiator if you can convey you story well.
