I usually hear INSEAD is the place to go if you want to work internationally

Outside of this bowl, immediate recruiting after graduation, or if you’re trying to make partner at MBB, probably 98% of people you meet in business won’t follow MBA rankings enough to know that Oxford isn’t ranked as high as INSEAD or other US schools. So yeah, the brand name almost certainly would carry a lot of weight down the road

Well, depends what you need an MBA for. If you want to impress random folks at parties then sure. Otherwise, neither rating nor name matters - have a look at alumni in the area/geography you interested in instead.
