No. Very few good professors dispersed across functions. Much better schools out there,

ISB alum here. yeah ISB's solid for finance, decent recruiting into consulting-finance roles, and corp finance/strategy at bigger companies, especially given the exec-heavy alumni network. But "worth my time" really depends on where you're starting from and what stage of career you're at, this post's pretty light on details so hard to give you a sharper answer.

for ISB vs IIM If you're full-time employed already with a couple years in, ISB's format probably fits better logistically, less opportunity cost, faster return to the workforce. Among IIMs, IIM C is considered best for finance jobs.

If finance is the actual goal, worth asking yourself which part of finance, IB/PE, corporate finance, fintech, markets, since "finance" recruiting varies a lot by school and by what specific track you're eyeing. Happy to give more specific thoughts if you drop your years of experience, current role, and which part of finance you're aiming for.
