If you are planning to switch from consulting to finance/tech, I would prioritize 2y programs

If you’re trying to pivot, I would recommend a 2 year MBA to give you more time and to do an internship to achieve that. If you just want an MBA for advancement, then I would go for a 1 year MBA or a part time MBA program

Just noticed you’re at Bain. Do NOT do a part time MBA while at Bain. I believe they have rules saying you can’t do a part time MBA (if not explicit, at least implicit) while employed at Bain. They don’t want your time taken up by other endeavors. You could lose your job if they find out you’re doing an MBA on the side

it depends if you are targeting EU or NA post-graduation, if EU INSEAD should provide the same outcome as a 2 year program

Good distinction, I’m US based and plan to stay in the US, so I’d only consider US universities
