Curious to get your thoughts on this program. I was recently admitted but after looking through the profiles of students and companies that recruit on campus, I was underwhelmed. It seems like placement has suffered immensely due to the awful job market in Europe. And in the U.S., LBS name brand has almost no clout.作者: wake2000 时间: 2013-8-6 10:40
LBS’s reputation in the US increases the further up the ladder you climb.作者: giants2010 时间: 2013-8-6 10:40
Wanna trade?
I’ll take your LBS Master’s degree. In return, you get a CPA license, a CFA Charter, and a mediocre part-time MBA. I think this would be a good trade for me.
EDIT - This assumes that you finish the program and that I pass Level 3 in a couple of weeks. But let’s pretend for the time being.作者: LorrinCFA 时间: 2013-8-6 10:40
In my opinion LBS is right up there with the great business schools in the world. I wouldn’t trade my CFA charter for it, but I would definitley trade my MSF for yours. Anything with “London” in the name sounds classy and upscale to an American’s ears.作者: HuskyGrad2010 时间: 2013-8-6 10:41
Financial Times puts them 4th in the world. Right behind Harvard/Stanford/Wharton, and right ahead of Columbia/MIT.
I’ll trade. I can always do the CPA and CFA again. I’ll never get another chance to go to a school of this caliber.作者: stalkey 时间: 2013-8-6 10:41
Yo, LBS stands for Low-Balled Salary作者: WarrenB1 时间: 2013-8-6 10:41
I actually think you might differentiate yourself by going to a top European business school. There is one guy at my office that went to LBS and he is a pretty sharp guy. Plus London would be a pretty cool life experience. But do what you think is best. I would love to go to IE business school in Madrid (Instituto de Empresa). I did a semester of undergrad in Madrid and it was an experience of a life time. Seems like yesterday I was there. Wish I could go back to work and live. To bad the employment situation is so bad in Spain these days.作者: maratikus 时间: 2013-8-6 10:42
Officially turned down my LBS finance offer today.
