Hi, I am really confused about few options I have
My Profile
Indian Age -27, 3 years work experience in Business Consulting, MBA from a fairly good institute in India and I have a strong Finance and Law background
Academic orientation for Behavioral Economics but I will be happy to with a job , if it pays well.
I have been given an admit in Barcelona GSE- Competition and Markets Regulation program, UC3M- Industrial Economics and Markets program, Tilburg- Master of Finance and Aalto School of Business - Master of Economics
Pros and cons
BGSE- Applied for Econ got selected for Competition and Markets Regulation program
Pros-big brand name, rigorous curriculum
Cons-9 month duration,hard to get a job though because of work permit issues (rules for Non-EU in Spain), 14000 EURO Fees
Competition Consulting virtually non- existent in India and not sure if I will get job in US (BGSE as a brand name in US, finding a sponsor would be a problem)
UC3M - Applied for Econ got selected for Industrial Economics and Markets program
Pros-Brand name
Cons- not sure about program - Industrial Economics and Markets program, hard to get a job though because of work permit issues (rules for Non-EU in Spain)
Tillburg - Applied for Econ got selected for Masters in Finance
Pros- Brand name, chances of getting job and work permit are good
Cons- Not really the area of my interest, but can go for it if placements are good
Aalto School of Business - Applied for Econ got selected for Econ
Pros- One of the oldest universities, free education, 2 year duration, Economics - Finally!, getting work permit won't be tough
Cons- Not sure how good it is in Economics area, not even sure about job prospects upon completing or even getting accepted for research by other colleges
I am inclined towards Aalto, only college where I have got Economics admit, but I am not sure if its worth it, my next preference in BSGE for big brand name and good course but again not sure if I will get a job even outside Europe. Please, Please! help and advice....
