How to Choose the Right Country for Your MBA in Europe

When people think about doing an MBA in Europe, the first question is often:
Which country is best?
But Europe is not one MBA market.
Each country offers a very different system, work culture, career path, and level of risk.
In this video, I share a simple framework to help you choose the right European country for your MBA- not based on rankings or popularity, but based on alignment with your career goals, risk tolerance, and stage of life.
This video is meant to help you think clearly before you shortlist schools.
