US citizen, went to LBS, exited to Google.
Pros:
Punches at M7 tier in the US (if you have a US right to work)
Offers a truly diverse student body experience in ways no US school can match (youâll have a network that spans the globe)
Great balance of course work load and extra curricular and social offerings
Cheapest and most available point to travel from to anywhere in the EU
Cons:
Only the people that âmatterâ in your career will know LBS in the US - Honestly your friends and parents will likely mistake it for LSE
If youâre recruiting for the US, youâll miss out on on campus recruiting for US offices - though companies will simply route your resume to the US offices (or any office you choose).
Recruiting in the US starts MUCH earlier than abroad - like before courses start. Be ready to be in recruiting mode when your classmates are not.
Much lower, especially given how much the pound is valued now relative to the dollar. But benefits and the social safety net is far stronger in UK/Europe than in the US. For example, 25 days of holiday (PTO) is the legal minimum. We get 30 at my firm. And you're actually expected to take it all.
HEC is great but it is in the middle of freaking nowhere.
Truly. Iâd also argue the quality is meh. I studied abroad there from an M7 program in the US. Very different vibe.
