Know this applies to a very small section of this forum. Currently on a H1B and will be attending B School this year. Do Post-MBA pe roles generally sponsor a green card given it is viewed as more of a career track? I will only have 2 years of my h1b left (have done 4 years already).
For some background, went to a target, worked at top bank and 2 years at Megafund in nyc

Will you be doing your business school part-time while you keep the H1b?
If the purpose of your stay is purely focused on schooling, you should be on F1 and would re-apply for H1b afterwards. After 2x3 H1b is exhausted, there is also a rule that you'd have to leave the country.
sorry, can't say that much regarding the gc question within PE (even though I work in PE).
Either the bank or the mega fund should have filed for the GC already, IMO.

Yes, know folks that received post-MBA PE offers along with greencard sponsorship.
Thank you so much for confirming. Were they also on H1Bs which eventually got transferred to green cards? How long did they have to work at their respective fund before getting the green card sponsorship, was it immediate ?
I believe they were on H1B prior to MBA. Know someone who got an offer from a MF that also agreed to sponsor his green card. He ultimately decided to go back to his old company (also MF) and was able to start his green card process right away.
