Do you have any specific goals for a job function? Do you want to return to Latin America, or work in the North?

Hi Duncan, thanks for replying. My goal for job function is to become product manager, either in the industrial/manufcturing or technology field. My intention is to stay in the North and get international work experience. Regarding the language, I use my English on a daily basis because of my job, no problem with that. I also speak German (thus I'm considering WHU), but although I studied for 14 years (earning bilingual diploma) , I haven't used for a while now. Spanish is my first language, so IE or IESE (Spain) could be a good choice. Thank you.

Europe makes a lot more sense if you want to find work. Why not look at that list of schools with the best placement and then compare their alumni with LinkedIn: look for schools that have the most MBA alumni as product managers?&nbsp;

Narrow your goals down in terms of where exactly you want to work and go from there.<br><br>IESE would make a lot of sense if you want to work in Germany / Spain. Even some parts of Latin America as well.&nbsp;<br><br>The US is probably a tougher nut to crack, but with your career goals (especially tech / product manager) it could make sense. Are you eligible to work in the US?&nbsp;

Yes, I've done some research using LinkedIn and each school's official page, and sees to be that IE and ESADE have the greatest percentage of people placed in IT/Technology (mostly Amazon) and moreover, a good amount of them under product management positions. What I'm afraid of, is that a lot of profiles had managerial experience before enrolling the MBAs in IE, IESE or ESADE.<br><br>US is clearly a more difficult option, since most of the best MBAs have a two-year programme, and I don't know exactly how the whole process to be eligible in US works. Do you know how much time is given after graduating to find a job and get a work visa? Thank you!&nbsp;

After graduating from a US MBA program, you basically get 12 months on a work visa (called the OPT visa). After that if you want to stay you would need to convert to something more permanent, generally through a green card, or an H1B. There are a limited number of H1Bs issued per year, and they're issued by a lottery system, so it's not a sure bet. Getting married to an American is probably less risky in that sense. :)
