I'm trying to choose between MBA programs. I have 20 years experience, and a decade in FAANG as a software engineer and manager. I'm from the USA, but I'm currently in Switzerland. I could end up in either country in the long run. I already have a pretty good network but I'm looking to add a pile of new tools to my toolbelt, dramatically expand my business vocabulary/knowledge, and en route pick up the credential from an institution known in both countries. After extensive research and conversations with alumni, the three programs I'm most interested in with the key things that attract me:
1) Imperial Global MBA.
Good: A few weeks in person. Cohorts. Innovation. Leadership. Fair price.
2) ETH/HSG EMBA X.
Good: In-person. Innovation in Tech. Sustainability focus. Shortest length.
Bad: Significantly more expensive. I believe it also covers less content.
3) Gies iMBA.
Good: Flexible scheduling. Cheap. Lots of students/alumni in tech.
Bad: Very large classes. No in-person.
I considered many other options, including IMD, but I find various factors (such as cost or travel requirements) prohibitive.
These are quite different programs, but after doing extensive research, they seem to be the best options for my goals & location. Any thoughts come to mind about which to choose?
