In reply to AB. It is difficult to get a work visa in the U.S. without actually attending university there and then staying in the country, so your best option is to find a job at a large company in your country and then see if they can sponsor you for the transfer.

In reply to Sup. I don't know how to answer your question because I don't know what types of jobs you're looking for or anything else about your work experience. In general, a pure engineering background with no finance roles is not enough to get into IB directly. Maybe if you attend one of the very top schools it can work, but you normally need some type of smaller finance internship first.

In reply to John Smith. Well, tell that to the banks. It's tough to change these policies inside an institution that keeps promoting people and then attempts to keep them around for a long time...

It is totally insane, in-human, to treat junior analysts like this. They are intellectual “labors” nothing more than that.

In reply to Karl. If you don't care that much whether you get into IB, consulting, or a related field, BYU is probably better because of the vastly lower cost. If you're 100% set on IB, then you have to go with Stanford. The problem is that you'll be competing against people with more relevant backgrounds, so even if you go there, your chances won't necessarily be great. So BYU is the lower-risk option.

What is the most soft skilled focused career path with the most salary?

Brian, I’ve reading every article on this site, and enjoy them all.
I got accepted to both Stanford MBA & BYU MBA. I worked 4 years in GS Ops and 2 years as controller (mainly strategy i.e. process improvement & project management)
Thinking about two options:
#1: I am thinking about getting into IB, but not sure if my BO past alone will deny me. Also, I’d have to choose Stanford mba (which cost me 250k)
#2: Choose BYU MBA (which would cost me 20k and try management consulting ( McKinsey and Bain recruit quite heavily at BYU nowadays from my research)

Which do you think is a better shot in your opinion?
