Hey everyone, would love some outside opinions on this.
I am 35 years old Asian, spent 11 years in Consumer Electronics Product Management across Africa and the Middle East.
Currently a Senior PM based in Israel.
In about 2 years I'm looking to move to current company's Dubai or Europe office, though I'm also open to other opportunities (strategy, consulting, etc.).
I just received scholarship offers from both IE Business School and Warwick Business School for their online MBAs. Both are part-time, so I'd continue working throughout.
IE offered 30%, Warwick 35%. After scholarships, IE ends up roughly $13K more expensive, but it's also the faster program (18 months vs. Warwick's 2 years).
My gut says IE: stronger global brand, a better Middle East/Dubai network, and incredible cohort diversity (150+ nationalities). But Warwick isn't far behind, and the cost difference is meaningful given I'm supporting a family of four.
Has anyone been through either program? And if you're based in Dubai or the Gulf, how are these two brands actually perceived out there?
