I am a US citizen currently living in Europe. What are the advantages of obtaining an MBA in Europe (besides the typical one-year length) versus waiting until I return to the US to apply to a b-school there?
If I pursue the European MBA, will it be challenging to find recruiters willing to work with me if I want to return to the US right after completion of the MBA?
Thanks!

Generally speaking, it will definitely be a lot easier for you to find a job in the US if you do your MBA there.
The problem is that MBA programs outside the US are usually not known to US employers. But if you choose one of the European top tier MBAs, I'm quite sure the recruiters have at least heard about it. Then it's up to you to point out what assets come along with a European MBA, such as language skills and flexibility.
Another problem is that you will have less possibilities to make contacts during your studies with possible US recruiters - whereas you are well placed to mingle with the European business world.
Still, the one year-lentgh and the extra language skills (if you manage to acquire them) can be a strong argument in favor, just make sure to do it in one the best schools.
