I don’t understand your comment on satellite offices because most companies are now likely to hire locally for those offices so it shouldn’t affect MBA hiring in the US. I am here to offer a perspective for people considering US MBA programs.
Sure. My point is that if the executive order sticks, there will not be H1B MBA hiring in the US for international students.
I’ve heard potentially a loophole could be using L1 to bring people back, but I’m not sure I would put a lot of hope into that.
My take is that jobs will move elsewhere in the world. Doing completed the opposite of what this silly order was trying to do.

Personally, in 10 years in the U.S., I don’t know anyone who got one during OPT. I’ve hardly seen it—maybe a PhD from Stanford/MIT could pull it off, or you’d need a game-changing startup, serious fundraising, or a Forbes 30 Under 30-type profile
Yes, you are spot on. With three years, out of which one is used up for waiting , you would have to apply during basically your first or end of your second year after MBA and that’s not real realistic for 99%.
I have known one person who could have gotten it during in 3.5 years but they slowed down the tempo because they got their H1B. You definitely have to have a very good job, but based what I’ve heard from the process, if you have the income to support your exceptional status, the rest is pretty straightforward to put together. (it’s still a hassle because you have to join various organizations, become a judge for competitions get published in newspapers about and have people write articles about you, etc but attorneys who specialize in this, they’ve done this so many times that they have all the right contacts).
And a lot more people push this route, the waiting times will only increase.
