USA vs UK/Europe

I am planning for masters in management within next 2 years , I am thinking of INSEAD , ESSEC, hec Paris or LBS , my long term goal is to work in product management/ management consulting abroad for 5-6 years , saving great money and coming back to India to invest and buy a decent home for myself in posh locality and generating a passive income stream ,is It a good decision, is it possible to save that much ad will able to repay the education loan within a year or two after graduating?

Up until recently I was of the opinion that moving to the US is not at all great giving all the uncertainty around visas, jobs, safety and racism. However, lately my cousin and his husband who went to the States 3 yrs ago for masters both got H1B while a junior got a full scholarship on tuition fees from Stanford and Harvard for MBA. I now think maybe my thesis is wrong and I am seriously considering a master's primarily out of FOMO I guess. Narrowed down on a 1 year tech MBA from NYU and Cornell.

I'm a 24yo M, into frontend engineering making over 18LPA. I'm also working part time for a startup. I'm considering masters in the UK, US or Canada on the same order of priority. my main reasons to even consider masters are the following - meet people from different backgrounds - get a better paying job with a work visa in a foreign country - FOMO as a lot of people i know from college are now abroad studying/working cons i see in this approach - heavy on the finances - economy isn't doing very well worldwide - job market is pretty bad rn - i have everything here in India (family, friends, a well paying job) my ideal case would be to get a visa sponsored job opportunity, but considering the economy and job market it seems impossible. would love to know opinions of some experienced folks or anyone who'd have some guidance for me. thanks.

I am at the final stage of selecting the right Master's program to propel my career transition into product management roles within tech giants like MAANG or management consultancy positions in MBB or Big 4 firms. I intend to settle/ immigrate from India to a Western/ developed country post-MBA and finding a job will be my highest priority as I am taking a loan to finance my total fees and cost of living abroad. I have offers from 1. TIAS School of Business MBA, Utrecht, Netherlands (Tuition Fee coming down to 29000 euros after scholarship), +11000 euros for the cost of living. Pros: -Strong economy and relatively less competitive job market -Best quality of life in the world with healthcare,etc - less stressful immigration process and life, wlb Cons: -Less salary and 40% income tax - horrible housing crisis(worse than mumbai)so a good portion of salary will go in that and will have to share a flat with people after MBA. -The MBA and any business school in Europe after the top 3 is not greatly valued there. It's your past experience that matters so career switching will be tricky -weather - socializing hurdles with locals 2. Duke University, NC, USA : for a Master of Science in Engineering Management Program, 66000 USD Tuition fees . The cost of living can be easily covered with part time jobs. I am seeking advice to make an informed decision along with some feedback about the best place to live for me. I have heard mixed feedback on job prospects due to the current market challenges. But, a few years back the alumni from these programs got into the positions I aim to work at. Profile: 25 M. Previously worked for 6 months as a Tech Project Manager at a VC. Currently, I'm a Scrum Master at a renowned British FinTech MNC and will have 3.4 years of total full-time experience (only in leadership roles ) by the time I enroll in any course in Sept 2024. Only proficient in English, open to other languages if necessary. TIA.

Just wanted to know if your top B schools in India actually are worth the money you’re ready to shell out or is it something that’s just gold covered ***. Incase of doing an MBA any recommendations at what stage in my career should I go for one and which schools should I apply for ? 👽

My friend graduated this year is planning for masters in management and targeting b schools in France mainly hec Paris, Essec and ESCP as he told me but he is confused whether he should go for it or not keeping in mind he will stay there for few years and want to earn decent , he knows that usa is best in terms of salary but current scenario is preventing them from applying to techno-managerial masters like mem/msba

Me: APM with almost 2 years of experience looking to do an MBA to fast track my career. Post-MBA roles: - Product Management - Strategy Roles - Program/Project Management - General Management - Other similar roles Long term goal: To stay in India; fine with working 2-3 years abroad. Query 1: Considering an average profile with 9/8/8 in high school/intermediate/college, tier-1 undergrad and 2 years work-ex at a start-up. Do I have a chance to bag an MBA admit from the following with little scholarship: - LBS - Insead - HEC Paris - Oxford - Cambridge - SDA Bocconi - NUS Singapore - IESE - ISB I'm targeting 1 year programs only for cost purposes, hence the US is out of the picture. Feel free to suggest good 1 yr US programs Query 2: How much GMAT is required for my profile to get into these schools? Query 3: Are 2 year IIM Programs more advisable for me and should I leave abroad colleges altogether. At the maximum, I can't wait more than 3 years of work-ex at the time of applying due to personal reasons. Please guide me🙏🙏🙏🙏
