Temptation ji

I'm facing the same problem,but not deep as yours.I'm final year Engineering student frm India  from Elecrical & Electronics Engineering.I 've scored good at GRE.Although i have options to join in Reliance Energy ,Mumbai  as i get placed there through my campus placement. But i want to do further study on US either MS/MBA. now due to this economic crisis ,now I'm in delemma what to do.How to proceed my career.

I would appreciate your suggestions..

my story is similar to temptations, I completed by MBA on 2007 n started doing job search related to my field, but as time went by, I realized that most of the companies are not willing to sponsor you on the entry level, which in a result landed me on IT consultancies....totally changing my field from MBA to IT just for the sake of H1B....thts how it works out here....the other important factor that we face is financially....entering into IT on the most of the part gives some financial stability....

With the economic crisis going on its really tough to find a job.....but let that not demotivate anyone...I was working as a IT consultant for a year and finally a company offered me a full time...so things are working for me and hopefully it will work for everyone.....

Lucky You.. amit007nepal

Best of luck guys!!

Sagun!

Since, I'm purely from a management background so I don't think I'm the best person who can give you a proper advise on your situation. As far as I know it's the experience along with the degree that helps a lot in getting any kind of job in US. But it all depends upon what you want to do and how you do it...I can only suggest you to do some more research in your field of study...job market and so on.

Sagun:

there are lot of Indian/International companies that have job locations both in India and in US. Why don't you try to apply to one of those places. Eventually they will allow you to come and work in their US job sites and you can apply for MBA (evening classes) . You can work and study at the same time which is actually much better than strickly studying when it comes to doing MBA. I know a lot of Indians doing the same.

In US also, if you have degree and no experience, it is not worth a lot. A job will give you much more security in terms of finances.

thanks temption & Sheetalb bro,

This is my opinion, take it as it is:

MBA, especially for foreign students, is worth its salt only if it is from Top 10 schools.  If you graduate from, say... UPenn's Wharton, then you probably won't have to worry much about your visa status or the recession.  However, if your "Yum Bee Yay" is from some obscure university in, say Oklahoma (nothing against OK, I'm just using it as an example), then you are in for some hard time.

Sagun05, if I were you, I would go for MBA school, provided, as I said above, it is in Top 10 school.  You can check various MBA ratings such as Business Week's annual survey to find which 10 schools are at the top.  Recession should not matter to you because by the time you finish your MBA, we should be well into economic recovery.
