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!

Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.
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.
