Hey again guys and girls - Apologies if this is under the wrong thread - but it's a similar theme and is a part of my admissions process..ish. So, in my previous thread I asked for a profile eval, which some of you graciously did-- now I'm hoping for advice on a different topic. I have the great opportunity to work on a PhD here in London. My supervisor would be a brilliant professor that is highly regarded at the London School of Economics and the project has just been awarded a grant in conjunction with Amazon, Facebook, and four other unis. Two things -- 1.) I have a business background - I want to teach/research in business (though dealing with MIS subject matter). This PhD will technically be in "Computer Science" despite my portion of the research dealing with the organizational/managerial/social aspects. Seems silly now that I type it out, but will this branding impact my job search? 2.) I want to be in the US for my career. It's home. Coming from the UK, will I have issues finding a placement here (beyond the standard competition/placement issues)? 3.) If so -- would I be more competitive pushing to get into a "lesser" University in the states than a combined PhD from LSE/UCL? Thanks all!
