MBA

Hi there,

Whenever this question pops up, it's easy to do your own research. Check on LinkedIn and filter for your target employers and the schools you want to compare.

You could then even reach out to respective people and start your networking by asking them about their experience (win-win).

Cheers,

Hi there, 

Q: Is IMD recognized better than ST Gallen MBA in Switzerland? Which is one better?

Are you referring to which one is better for consulting? Regardless of the target companies, you can check the numbers on LinkedIn as follows:

1. Look for alumni of the MBAs 
2. Check how many went to your target firms
3. Normalize for the size of the MBA intake

Best,

Francesco

As other coaches already highlighted, it depends on which dimensions you care about and both are strong schools.

If narrowed down to recruiting into MBB, IMD has a better reputation, from what I have seen and heard - know quite a lot of people in BCG who did IMD MBA, HSG much less common - easy to fact-check this on LinkedIn though.

Hello,

Agree with Hagen here. You need to list out the criteria that are most important to you - culture? recruitment? activities? academics? There is plenty of information available online to flesh out details in these aspects and you can decide accordingly.

It would also be helpful to speak to alumni/students from both schools to give you a sense.

Hope this helps!

Hi there,

My light understanding is that IMD is ranked higher.

Which one is “better” is going to be determined by the things that you value!

If you are only looking at rank, looks like IMD is the way. However, make sure to think through the other factors that matter to you, then research accordingly!

Hi,

If you are asking w.r.t. to MBB hiring, at least for BCG when I was there I know that we hired from both those schools (had quite a few colleagues in SEA offices who went to either school).
