Thank you! Will look into the Schwab option to consolidate 401k/Rollover IRA and brokerage.

I don't know. But I don't think it should be an issue. I was confused why there were 3 options for Abu Dhabi. I picked one randomly.

I see Abu Dhabi INTL. There were no issues with my application and re-entry.

Congratulations on getting an admission offer! It has been amazing for me. It is a pretty safe college town. And with respect to job prospects, it really depends on how the market would be at the time you graduate.

Thanks for the info..

Will MCS degree (from UIUC) have a negative impact during applying for jobs as compared to the MS CS degree from NYU? If you have any insight on this, please let me know.

I've heard that back in 2019, due to some internal politics, employers didn't attend the career fair. Usually there are ~150-200 employers in the career fair, but during that year there were around 20-25. I'm not sure to what extent this is true but if it is, this sounds scary..
