Congrats on the admits! The general rule is that go to school in the region where you want to get a job. I will speak for a Fuqua perspective. Fuqua is very strong in consulting and general management. For general management, it is harder to get into for international student because of visa issues; however, there are a few that will sponsor you, especially if you want to go back to Asia in the long term. Most consulting firm sponsors visa; however, getting a green card is a long process, and consulting is a hard lifestyle with up-or-out policy, so I’m not sure how many end up getting a green card through consulting. The two major employment opportunities for Fuqua grads in HK are consulting and banking. The general feeling is that for Chinese students, placement in HK is much easier than it is for US. You can do GM in HK, but it may take some networking. I heard that an added benefit of 2 year MBA versus 18 month MBA is the ability to switch careers. Since 2 year MBA programs (at least in the US) have a very robust internship tradition, which allows companies to try out future hires. This is more of an issue if you are going from GM to consulting than from consulting to GM (unless you are switching industry as well). Good luck! -- by 会员 asimov1 (2013/3/7 22:59:43)
