I have an offer from Essec Business school for luxury brand management. As I was focusing luxury brand marketing essec was one of my choices. However due to current situation of covid 19 and also job prospect wise I am clueless whether I should take that offer or apply to any US college. Could you please kindly reply. No one ( Essec students, admission committee) is giving me a clear picture regarding job opportunity outside india post this course. one hand I don’t wanna let go this opportunity and on the other hand I am scared of job prospects post mba. Please suggest if you can
