Indian (BA econ with 1.5 yrs work exp) don't know if MiM is for me, would be taking a huge student loan. Want to work in Consulting/Corp Fin/Operations

I honestly don't know which field of business is better suited for me and hence was looking at MiM (Essec / Escp / UK isn't taking students who are entering Mim with 3 years post grad, it is not cited anywhere but this is what facts are ) as it'll give me an exposure to various subjects and in the second year I can decide specialization but given the fact that I don't know French I know getting a job is going to be a nightmare, specially consulting which has client facing roles. I know German (B1,but have forgotten as 4-5 yrs of no contact). H1B is a lottery and I don't know which MS I should be doing as it is, if I go for Masters in Management (which doesn't have a lot of value in US)  it'll be non stem and 1 year work permit is way too less, I fear if I don't get H1B how will I repay my loan + USA is way too expensive (Europe top schools INR 45 lakhs for 2 years, US INR 60 lakhs for 10 months). I don't want to do an MBA rn as too little work exp, Canada - MBB doesn't seem to be hiring post masters in management grads even for entry roles, Australia - in lot of videos I have seen most of the job offers have the one of eligibility point as being Citizen/PR holder (which takes about 4-5 yrs) of Australia or New Zealand. Okay I'm done with my rant and I know it sounds as if I have issues with each and every region on globe, sorry for that, but I just want to be sure and certain that the time, efforts, money I am putting in after my masters should be worth it. Thank you for reading through, seeking your guidance. Please let me know which country and courses should I be looking for

Master's in Management isn't STEM, And I don't know if I really want to make a career in Finance hence was looking for MiM as it gives a variety, also what's the value of Masters in Management in USA ?

 

MiM is useless in US especially for international student because you need a 3-year OPT visa extension from a STEM degree, this means that Master in Finance from Princeton/MIT/Vanderbilt (not sure on Vander, but need to check) would be STEM designated.

If you want to do consulting I recommend doing MiM from Europe, especially schools like LBS have a good track record if you look at their employment report after grad.
