Do you have any geographic preference, post MBA? Are you considering a career outside of the US (favoring INSEAD)? (0)

anon15364 Likes Earned: 32 I think I am definitely leaning more towards a US based career. I have heard if you go international then it is more difficult to come back to the US for career options. What would be the main pros/cons between Booth and Columbia? It seems like those are the two that would be my top chocies. (0)
