ESSEC MiM Reality: Apprenticeship + Salary + Admissions + Job Outcome | Student Interview

Thinking about applying to ESSEC Business School for the Master in Management (MiM)? In this episode of Inside France Business Schools, we break down the real ESSEC experience with an ESSEC MiM student/alumnus. We discuss everything applicants want to know but rarely hear clearly: • ESSEC admissions process • How to prepare for the GMAT / GRE • LOR strategy and application tips • What happens in the ESSEC interview • The reality of alternance in France • Alternance salary expectations • Workload and balancing academics with work • How alternance can lead to a CDI job in France One of the biggest advantages of studying in France is the alternance model, where students work in a company while studying. In this video, we explain how ESSEC students find alternance roles, how much they typically earn, and how this experience can significantly improve career opportunities after graduation. We also discuss the transition from alternance to CDI, including when companies start considering full-time offers and how international students can position themselves for long-term careers in France. If you’re planning to apply to ESSEC or other top business schools in France, this conversation will help you understand the application strategy, student experience, and career outcomes. ⏱ Timestamps 0:00 Intro 0:28 Guest profile 1:03 Why MiM 2:09 Why France 3:40 ESSEC admissions & Intakes 4:00 ESSEC process 4:40 GMAT 5:15 Documents Required 6:01 Motivation Letter & CV 7:07 Low Scores 8:18 IELTS English test 8:52 LOR 9:41 Interview tips 10:45 Using ChatGPT 11:37 Apprenticeship 13:20 Salary in Apprenticeship 14:02 Is life hectic 14:58 Exam pattern 15:29 Finding an alternance + salary discussion 18:01 From alternance to CDI 20:02 Salary in Job 20:46 Benefits of Job 22:02 VISA Changes 22:50 Tip1 25:26 Tip2 🎓 Who This Video Is For • Students applying to ESSEC MiM • Applicants targeting top French business schools • Students exploring alternance to reduce tuition costs • International students planning to build a career in France 🤝 Connect With Mohit LinkedIn   / mohitdetwani   Instagram   / mohitdetwani   🌍 Stay Connected with Me Book a 1:1 Call - https://topmate.io/riteshinparis/ Join my Telegram - https://t.me/+5VZ7TxwGZ5MyNWU0 Instagram   / riteshinparis
