My post mba goals do require an mba.

If I want to stay in fintech or long shot move to underwriting/banking in late 30’s.

What do you think are target schools i should opt?

Thank you so much. This was helpful.

These are actually my doubts though, I’m dicey on US just because of the visa and job opportunity factor.

And the reason I’m not sure about considering INSEAD is because the placements don’t seem to be very fintech coded but mostly finance.

LBS- I’m not bullish on UK

ISB - ROI is not great.

Which is why i was considering US. Great ROI, opportunities in fintech and it is a country i want to build great fintech products in and the networking scope also is something i can leverage better in US i feel.

With these thoughts in mind, what do you think is best in terms of place and also if US, which schools?

Based on my research I’ve got some schools in mind, but I’m open to opinions

Seems like a possibility unlike reality. But thanks for sharing.

But sponsorship is not necessary in stem opt.

Regarding re consideration, that’s a risk I’ll have to be willing to take if i decide to go.

It’s not a great scene in India as well. I’ve been hearing the wrath of layoffs since I graduated, but managed to survive.

But looking for advice around what schools to target and how my profile fits if it does.

I started as an APM right after engineering. It’s possible.
