Careers in International/Global Corporate Strategy

Recently, I've been targeting a job at boutique, middle market, and bulge bracket IBs for an analyst gig after graduating college. I've been thinking about my plans after working two to three years as an analyst. There are several scenarios that I have in mind:

  1. I'm conversational in an asian language and thought of going abroad and completing a master's program in international commerce. I want to work in corporate strategy or development for few years. Then, come back to the states and completing a top MBA program and then work at a fortune 100 company here. I want to gain international exposure to work globally in asia and in the states.

  2. After graduating at a top 10 business school this fall, i'm hopefully going to get hired in IB or corp fin. here in the U.S. After working working few years, I'm thinking of going to complete my MBA at a top program. Then, work at a fortune 100 company as a corporate strategist or development.

Any guidance on my career path?
