Hi everyone,


So here's a delimma, I am working for a German company from India and earn around 62k euros a year which after tax comes to 50k approx.


I got a chance to move to Germany on blue card and I'm thinking of moving soon. My goal after MBA is to reach into team lead roles within operations and hope to move to an English speaking country post graduation as soon as I can get a chance.


If i stay in germany, I save very little in comparison to my Indian residence. (rent etc). I want to do MBA asap(been planning for 2+ years). But on the plus side, I will get my blue card converted to PR and other blue card related perks assuming I learn German (which I'm working on).


Now my question is, do I move to Europe on blue card and do the MBA (on a loan atleast 50% of tution, 20k euros) for 2 years OR wait a bit, earn atleast sufficiently in india and move to Germany next year on no loan on a student visa and then hope to get a job then get my blue card period started. Mannheim or WHU ofc


Its a tough situation, need some guidance please.

If you want to move to an English-speaking country, do your studies there full-time. So, rather than take a budget MBA that won't place well, either 



- {a} take an MSc in a business function like operations (your budget will get you into a better school for an MSc than an MBA), or 

- {b} move to Germany. Save up. Build your creditworthiness. Then make a bigger MBA investment in yourself. 

The choice year hinges on your professionals goals and, if you are Indian, perhaps on your age and marriage plans.

I suggest you consider MSc degrees in finance for the best return on your investment: https://rankings.ft.com/home/masters-in-finance
