For whatever reason firms keep hiring from Insead. So I guess in a sense could be worth it. But the calibre is honestly appalling in general. It’s a great mystery to me

Yes. Highest placement into ME consulting (and also happens to admit anyone with a pulse and money).

If you want to keep your options open in terms of industries (e.g., banking) or geos I’d look at other programs. But for ME consulting INSEAD is the undisputed king.

Insead has a strong brand in the ME because there are many grads in the market - they create the buzz. In reality it offers one of the lowest quality program among top 20. There are so many better ways for you to pivot into ME.

I also think HSW are in a league apart. However, for someone who doesn't want a 2 years program, INSEAD is the place to go. I think in the current market conditions, it's very hard to get into consulting in ME without a strong network.

Yes, for that logic you present it’s still worth it

Its because its favoured by french speaking lebanese, im guessing

I think we should create a compensation thread in this bowl. It would help a lot of people who are planning to switch companies/jobs or who are moving to this region. Just a thought, since it’s one of the most common questions asked here.
