MBB India?
Currently Indian 12th grader aiming for LSE>Bocconi/
>HSG>Erasmus and US Targets for undergrad and I will probably be doing my MiM in Europe too. I was thinking if I do not get a MBB/T2 role as an international in London/US/Other Regional Eur Offices, I would have to return to India, or if there is an emergency or due to family issues, I would be forced to come back. Thus I was thinking, what is the reputation of the above schools in my home country. Like will recruiters place a Bsc Econ and Philosophy from LSE and MiM from LBS or Bocconi BEconManagenentCS and HSG at the same level as SRCC or St Stepehens College or T5 IITs for analyst roles given a unique experience at an abroad target, Indian Nativity and European Language proficiency
If you're applying to LSE, why not also apply to Oxford/ Cambridge? Idk much about Indian recruiting but can't imagine they wouldn't consider Oxbridge at least equivalent to top Indian targets
The thing with LSE is that it is the only UK institution which is considered a target in the UK which also provides financial aid to Internationals and has the lowest base tuition fees for Internationals. Oxford has around 30k GBP base with no Scheme for Internationals and scholarships are mind numbingly competitive vs LSE's 22k GBP and an Undergraduate Support Scheme based purely on financial need. Bocconi has a similar ISU aid system and St Gallen's base fees is already lower than many top Indian schools. For UG, I dont think paying the 30k for 3 years at Oxbridge is worth it at all when I can do my UG in LSE and MFe in Oxford for the brand name or MiM in LBS or other top MiMs.
For my dream MBB job, other than US, my main target is the UK and I just wanted to be sure enough that if I am making such a large investment for education and with visa policies getting stricter for the developing world populous to emigrate to the developed world and especially my dream being such a high reach where locals from STEM targets get rejected, having a backup in my homeland as well wouldn't be such a bad idea.
I do have one partner level family connection in London at a top T2 firm (think OW, ATK, LEK) but except that, probably nothing special so I need to be really sure and need to have strong backups as well.
Funny enough I worked on a transaction which had a big subsidiary in India so we had engaged Bain India for the commercial DD report. Most of the folks I worked with there were from IIM schools and two of them from from US T10 MBAs (ie. Booth / Wharton). Know it's not helpful for you given your EU focus in academics but just to you give you an idea of my experience.
Sometimes I think I have done a good job organizing my life, then I read a post talking about a multi stage life plan involving MBB recruitment from a 12th grader and shut that thought down real quick
