Hello,

Can anybody elaborate a little on the career outcomes for the St. Gallen MBA? Especially for non-EU residents looking to work in finance in Switzerland and Europe more broadly. Any insight would be valued.

Excellent outcomes assuming you speak and write German to a professional standard.

It's the second best school for international mobility, behind IMD, according to the FT. That's a pretty good sign that it does reasonably well at placing people in Switzerland, at the very least.

I think HSG is good at picking MBA students that will fit with its employers. For example, HSG was the only MBA that turned me down (several excellent European schools admitted me, and was selected as an exchange student at Columbia, Tuck and UCLA). If my German had been higher than B1, perhaps I would have been selected?

I have basic German skills. Can one not find an English language finance job in Switzerland?

If you had notable advantages over a bilingual classmate, quite possibly.

IMD could be a strong choice.
