I want to relocate to the US for work. Would having an (American) MBA degree help with sponsorship opps? Aiming for M7, or at least Top 15.

Hard to say. Sponsorship will depend on what the US policy on visa situation is at the time you graduate. If we get 4 more years of current administration, who knows what that situation will be.

You only get 1 year of OPT so 1 chance at H1B lottery, it will be close to a 50/50 chance for you, if you get a job. A Top 15 will open doors, but you will be $150k in debt. It’s an expensive lottery ticket, though being in a similar position I am rooting for you!

Thanks A1 - rooting for you too! 👊🏼

I had a STEM degree (Econ) from undergrad that I haven’t used up, so the additional 2 years of OPT will roll over to my next degree. Hopefully that 3 years will help with my chances.

Depending on your level, you can also get Accenture to sponsor L1 visa, an intra-company transfer visa. Less of a gamble for you

SC1 - can I DM you with a follow up question regarding this?

Context: If all goes well I’ll be 4 years out of college by the time I matriculate (hopefully 2021).

Graduated from NYU Econ for undergrad. Worked in NYC for a year out of college, before I returned back to motherland.

No, at least not for consulting. Sponsorships are tight in general and are a hiring consideration. In the consulting industry, MBA hires are typically Strategy. In ACN Strat, we don’t sponsor w/out US work auth bc the paperwork isn’t worth the burden.

Strategy & Ops at large tech company (non-FAANG) - 120K TC (San Francisco)

Rotational Program at Industrial Firm - 170K TC (Chicago)

Industrial Company:
- Would pay for grad school
- Comp is insane
- Work is more niche
- Company culture is rough
- MBB / tech exit
- smaller less known company

Tech Company:
- Cool company
- well known
- Enter tech early on
- Salary lower than other by a lot
- PM / Biz Ops exits

Both companies have good MBA placement. What would you do?
