Title pretty much says it all. Does this ever happen? I am an international student and the reason why I want to do an MBA is because eventually I want to return to my country, so in the long-run the MBA will be beneficial for exec positions. I was wondering if this route is common/possible. I plan on going to an EB after the MBA to make some good money. Thanks for your insights.

Sure. Why not lateral to an EB now
Try to lateral to an EB that will pay for your MBA.
Thank you for that insight; do you know which Elite Boutiques pay for MBA's? I am interested in Centerview
I think Centerview, Evercore, Lazard, etc. pay for it (or at least did at one point) but I doubt anyone takes them up on it — not needed for the job and you’re forgoing a boatload of comp during those two years.
