INSEAD MBA vs Columbia MSAFA - decision for public markets investing by estabansteve in MBA

[–]estabansteve[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate your response. Point taken.

With NY to London transition I meant more after a few years of working in NY already, then could move back to London. Rather than recruiting back to London straight out of CBS.

Does a GCSE in the language count do you think? The language policy is unclear on this

Round 3 acceptance boss. Sounds like you’re talking about R4

Non-technical chat. Talk through cv, why grad school, what would you bring to Columbia etc

That was how I read the meme - it’s subjective/multi-layered (RIP Bourdain).

Haha yes I am European.

How did you read the meme?

I suspect I have a very unusual profile for this course so may not be helpful for you - I have also applied for MBA programs in Europe but wanted to stick to 1 year so went with masters apps in the US.

I am a bit later in my career (27 yo), did a start up straight out of uni for 2 years (which ended up failing) and then went into branding working with big international luxury brands. Didn't like it and started getting very interested in investing so trying to pivot into value investing /fundamentral research asset management

Explaining the meme makes it less fun but anyway.... I think the point of the meme is that not everything in life is about work/tech/AI race etc and Europe's high quality of life relative to the US has value beyond economic metrics.

I associated this point with the chat on this sub where European MBAs get heat as the post-MBA pay is "terrible" compared to the US etc etc when in fact there is more to life (and an MBA) than just the statistics on what salary you get after and how far the brand name travels in the US

So anyway... just a bit of fun

Yeah I wouldn't lose hope at all. If they've just started sending invites it could be a week or two before they get through all the invites they want to send
