Hi scarecrow,
The range of GM positions post MBA is quite broad. You could be doing anything from a Leadership Development rotational program to a line-management position at firms as diverse as General Electric, John Deere, or a financial institution such as American Express.
For Leadership Development programs, the exit option is usually a line-management role within that company. You might also be able to use that experience to apply for other roles with companies in that industry.
One of the challenges for many of these positions is that most do not sponsor international students for visas. It's not that they don't want to have international students working for them - rather it's that many have policies that they do not want to have to pay and complete the red-tape to apply to visas. As an international student looking to stay in the US, your best employment options are with the management consulting firms and the investment banks
