International student who graduated from UC Berkeley in August of 2018. Currently searching for H-1B sponsored roles but I've only got 1 year to do so given my visa situation. Decent GPA, but I should've majored in something quant heavy and hustled harder for internships.
Considering graduate school to extend my stay here in the US and enhance my credentials. I'm not in a position to shell out $80k+ for another top-tier institution, but the Applied Econ programs offered at BC and JHU are between $33-42k and luckily that's doable for me.
Huge benefit of BC over JHU: STEM designated MS, which would give me 3 years of work authorization after I complete the degree.
Questions:
- Has anyone even heard of these programs? Will just their "brand name" alone be enough to at least to land me interviews?
- These aren't extension schools, but I'm nervous they might be perceived as so in the industry. Y/N?
- Ideally, I want to go to B-school one day; I just can't afford it right now and don't have the experience. Will this decision to get a further degree negatively affect my admission down the line?
Going home is out of the question. It's do or die.
