Do LBS and INSEAD both offer strong consulting job opportunities after graduation?

Yes, both LBS and INSEAD offer strong consulting opportunities after an MBA, but INSEAD consistently places a higher percentage of grads into consulting roles. MBB firms—McKinsey, BCG, Bain—recruit heavily from both schools, along with others like Strategy&, Kearney, and Oliver Wyman.

INSEAD tends to have more consulting hires, especially in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. LBS also does well, particularly in the UK market, thanks to its London location, which makes networking and office visits easier.

Here’s a quick look at how consulting placements have trended over the past 5 years for both schools:

As shown above, INSEAD has remained around 55–61%, while LBS has remained steady at around 40–45%. Both are top-tier for consulting, but INSEAD leads in terms of overall percentage and international spread.
