Hello everyone.
I wanted to thank everybody for all the precious information already shared in this forum.
I am a 35 year-old engineer. I manage a dozen of data scientists in a large retail company in France.
My objective short term is to take on more responsibility in the company as the data unit grows and multiply our business impact by developing us as a strategic player within the organisation rather than a support function.
Long term I want to continue to grow at HQ and aim at a Chief Data Officer position.
For family reasons I can’t commute too far away from home and be absent for too long periods. I studied the possibility of online MBA but I feel I would benefit more from being in a strong and close cohort.
I am considering HEC, ESCP, INSEAD.
In a thread of this forum from 2018, HEC was not appearing in rankings and was supposed to be geared towards entrepreneurship. ESCP was supposed to have the most senior cohort.
Since 2018 HEC has been in the top of the rankings and showing higher pre-EMBA salary than ESCP, suggesting a more senior cohort. Looking at candidates profiles on LinkedIn, I don’t see much of a difference in terms of cohort quality. INSEAD maybe has more people from management consulting.
My research on LinkedIn seem to show strong network in the data / tech domain for all three schools. INSEAD has more volume of alumni. ESCP has less volume but good density. HEC is balanced.
1. Between HEC, INSEAD and ESCP which has the most seniority in cohort ?
2. Given my goals, which school would you choose?
3. Do you feel it would would be worth considering UK schools as well?
Thanks for your feedback.
