Don’t do this, you have much better leadership experiences than what an mba provides you

Also consider INSEAD. It’s in Singapore, only a year, and has great MBB placement internationally

That's a very good point. To provide context, the primary reason I'm moving to Australia is because my fiance is Australian. Also, I would like to pursue my Ph.D. at Oxford post MBA. Moving to Sydney places us in the most advantageous position to accomplish all of that (At least from my perspective).

I’m an Australian and the application process is competitive but honestly less intense than in the USA. They often have easy ways in (eg, apply for a graduate diploma) with a softer application process and it can become an MBA if you maintain a decent GPA.

I’m in a rather peculiar situation. I have been in the HR field going on 4 years, I have over 11 years of management experience, I got my PHR last year and I recently graduated with my MBA with a concentration in HR this month. I am ready for a more challenging role. However, there doesn’t seem to be much available at my current company. However, I am going on 5 months pregnant with the expectation of being out in October. I feel like once I mentioned my pregnancy I was in a holding pattern.
