IB with 1 year OPT - What does everyone do?

Hi all, I'm curious to hear what everyone on OPT does if it's only for 1 year (Non-STEM). Do people generally go back for masters after a year or join another location? I would ideally like to keep working in the US but understand that may not always be feasible.

Thank you!
