By banking, I am referring to IB
They hire south Asians less but they do hire others atleast that's the impression I got from my batch I don't know maybe its just lack of data from my side e

Yes

Agreed school background are relevant

I think that holds true for any industry now

Since most want prior relevant experience ideally at MNC or big brand names

Personally IB drains you followed by Consulting

But at least you can clear loan faster

They pay so well I guess motivation should be through the roof from that angle

Banking doesn’t generally hire international. This is truly the case and it’s worse than any other sector for a simple reason - Bankers rely on a lot of relationship building past the Associste role.
I am yet to meet an international banker in bulge brackets. I have worked with the big guys on client side - especially BofA, Wells, JP Morgan. GS hired ONE international 5 years ago. You are slightly better off on East coast but only very slightly. If you have worked on deals as a IB guy - you know above is very true
Yes generally it doesn't from employment reports its not even a major percentage of MBA hires to begin with CBS had vast majority in IB then asset management and less then 3 percent in other sections under finance

Can I get some advice? I will transferred to SG full-time from remote at $100k in 6 months finance profile but I have been planning for MBA for more than a year. Given the current visa rules, is it wise to leave this opportunity with hope to get higher pay post MBA?
If you move from the U.S. to Singapore and work at least couple year for the same company in a manager/executive role, the U.S. entity can file EB-1C. That’s how two people I know did it:
Microsoft → Vancouver (2 yrs) → came back on EB-1C
Startup → Amsterdam (2 yrs) → came back on EB-1

I’m assuming you moved from US to Sg and want come back to US for MBA

That wouldn't be the norm i think

Need to check number of visas issued yearly to get an idea if this is common or not
