One Year of Experience in IB

I am currently working in Investment Banking as an Analyst. Since I am not a US citizen, the firm I work for will apply for my work visa (H1-B) next year. I am only eligible to work in the US for 12 months (OPT) without a work visa (H1-B). If I didn't get the visa by June 2023, I'll have to go back to school to get a STEM degree. A STEM degree allows international students to work in the US for three years! Therefore, I am currently applying for Master's programs as a backup plan.


With only one year of experience in IB, I don't think an MBA would be the right fit for me. I am currently applying for MSF and MSAFA programs in target schools. If you know of a good STEM master's program, please feel free to mention it. Also, if you've been in a situation like this please feel free to reflect on it below.
