Hi everyone,
I have just finished a PhD in engineering and will continue working as a researcher for two years at a top-tier university.
However, I am not sure if I want to continue working in research. The other two options that I am considering are entrepreneurship and strategy consulting. In order to boost my CV, I am considering an MBA, but a full-time one is not possible (for several reasons I will not discuss here). So I am evaluating the Online MBA from IE business school.
From you I would like to know:
- Is IE business school considered a top school by MBB and other consulting firms?
- How would future employers look at the online program? Would it be viewed as a lower-class MBA compared to the full-time one?
- Although not directly linked to consulting… Do you think it would be advantageous (and worth it) if I decide to start my own company? (Opening a company will depend on the results of the next two years)
In other words, is it worth it?
I hope you can help me. Thanks!
