Whats your opinion on getting MBA not in your own region.
I’m European and plan to stay in Europe, however

Asian MBAs can be cheaper and I have presumption it’s easier to get scholarships as diversity recruit.

you can certainly apply to both regions and see how it plays out. Another idea would be to apply to a school that has a footprint in Asia and back in Europe (INSEAD comes to mind) so that you have a better opportunity for placement back in Europe at the conclusion of the program.

Scholarships in Asia are significantly harder to get and are much less common. Diversity scholarships essentially don’t exist across Asia barring very few exceptions.

Having tough time deciding between IB & Consulting.

Additionally, you can do IB intern and full time consulting but not vice versa. I prefer consulting, but IB seems like the "safer" option? And if consulting does get hit hard, I would hopefully have a full time IB offer via internship.
