Dear all - Looking for some advice from folks out here

I am an Indian Male, worked with a Fortune 500 US MNC in various functions such as supply chain and manufacturing( after a top tier Indian MBA)... Currently, i have a UK T2 ICT dependent work( 5 years) visa but i have not landed up at a good job in UK (been about a month now)..

I had given my GMAT last year and ended up with 670.. and TOEFL 110.. wanted to apply to schools in US but didnt materialise..

With my current work situation not good, does it make sense to apply to a B school ( Imperial or RSM or Judge or Warwick) and then search for a decent mid level managerial job...

At the same time, does it make sense for me to take a huge financial risk/loan of 40-50K , struggle with loan payoffs or should i be patient and continue to focus on getting a job in UK( rather than taking a complicated MBA - Work route)

Awaiting your advice...
Thanks

I don't recommend pursuing an MBA as a last alternative. You do not want to regret your decision now on the other hand if you would be happy attending one of the school's you're looking at then make the decision. It all boils down to your confidence in your ability to secure a job in the coming months. Also, do you think an MBA will help you secure a job. Take a look at the employment report and decide if it worth pursuing now
