Best plan for an international student with a 1-year OPT?
Hi I’m an international student in the US going into IB and I am looking for the best plan after graduation. I only have a 1-yr OPT so the chances of me winning the H1B lottery is basically 0. I am thinking about getting an MBA or a MS in Finance/Financial Engineering so that I can get more chances for H1B.
MBA would definitely gives me more valuable connections and fit my path somewhat better. But MS in Finance/Financial Engr can give me 3-yr OPT (aka more chances for H1B)
A little bit about me:
- junior at an Ivy
- GPA 3.8
- interested in pivoting to PE, VC or HF (if possible)
Please let me know your advice! Would greatly appreciate any thoughts on this!
zizig, pure crickets, that's where I come in. Any of these useful?

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
Am in a similar boat. Top MBA programs typically don't accept those without prior work experience, so your bet is to do an MSF or any master's program that is STEM-designated in order to get the STEM OPT extension.
