I am a 27 year male from India. I have a ton of confusion regarding which country should I target for my MBA studies. I want to work for 3-4 years post MBA and then return back to India to settle here. I have no intention of settling permanently outside and my inclination is more towards 1 year MBA.
Profile:
Work ex - I have a total of 5.5 years of experience in IT sector till now. However, I have only worked in MNCs (HSBC and Publicis Sapient).
GMAT - 710
TOEFL - 107 (Min. 25 in all sections)
Education - 70% in undergraduation
Knowing that I don't have the most stellar profile, I am thinking of below countries but have some reservations for each of them that is leading to more confusion.
1. US
pros
-> Great job opportunities
-> Great salaries
-> Stem certified MBAs that'll allow me to work for 3 years without visa hassles
cons
-> 2 year MBAs
-> Huge tuition fees. Coming from a middle class background, taking this huge amount of loan seems like a very big risk to me.
2. Germany
pros
-> 1 year MBA
-> Low tuition fees
-> Culturally rich and gives access to EU
-> Good quality of life
-> No visa hassles
cons
-> Less job opportunities
-> Lower salaries
-> Need to learn German
-> Very high taxation (that seems a lot for someone who wants to be there just temporarily)
-> Colleges are very lowly ranked and relatively unknown outside Germany
3. UK
pros and cons
-> a mixed bag of above two
Any suggestions are most welcome and request anyone to give me some insights as to what country should I target and then if possible, some schools I should aim for in them.
Thank you
