And this is Insead we are talking about.

As for whether it's worth it, its up to you to decide

Totally agree. INSEAD does have a super heavy focus on consulting but some people I know there got through Apple, Amazon, Didi, etc. and all through INSEAD resources. So must not be a bad option after all. And yeah, MBB unfortunately does look at your undergrad universities.

And for people switching into finance industry its usually non-finance background to PE/VC or from Wealth Management/Equity Research to IB/Asset Management. This is the trend in my class at least.

Yes. I did 2 years at Mitsubishi in after sales. I desperately wanted to switch my industry so applied to few MBA schools, CEIBS was the highest ranked one that would take me so came here. Although in retrospect I feel a masters course in management or finance would have be a better choice.

LDPs are Leadership Development Programs. Just like MAP we've all applied for but for people with higher experience. Check out GSK's Esprit Program or ABinBev's Global MBA program.

well of course we all want to go INSEAD instead of NUS if possible but its the fees that are a strong consideration, 160k plus 1 year of lost income is really a lot to cover for after your MBA. So was thinking of a part time NUS MBA instead. but if NUS MBA does not actually provide much boost then i think 60k is also not worth at all

I think INSEAD is well worth the fees though
How about ESSEC, Manchester, Simon? The other MBAs with a Singapore branch here

Am feel pretty excited about the video interview results btw

Whether an MBA gives you a boost or not really depends on your strategy. I have friends went to Goldman sachs IB after part time mba in NUS and have some remain at their low paying low growth job, cause they are comfortable and have not been actively looking. If you are looking really hard for career change then full time have more drive than part time. Insead does have different focus and its a first tier MBA. Shouldnt compare with NUS. NUS is more like the same tier or slightly lower than CEIBS and HKUST.

And there is no comparison between part time and full time. The quality differs significantly. Both teaching and student quality.
