Hi all,
I have received offers from IMD for a full-time MBA and HEC Paris for an Executive MBA. I would appreciate any help in making this difficult choice.
Post-MBA Goal:
Function: General management
Geography: Africa (all regions)
Industry: Energy/Manufacturing
Background:
I have over 8 years of experience in the oil and gas downstream sector. I am 30+ years old and come from the West Africa region.
Here are the pros and cons as I see them:
IMD:
Pros: High-quality training, potential opportunity to work in Europe before returning to Africa.
Cons: Limited or no brand recognition in Africa, except for Kenya.
HEC:
Pros: Well-known brand in Africa.
Cons: Very limited opportunities to work in Europe
*Please @Duncan, I will also need your valuable feedback.

Focus on your immediate goal after the MBA. Is it to work in Europe or Africa?

If Africa or even IMB, aim for HEC will have a higher brand recognition (especially in french parts for africa).
