Hi Shubham,

I believe you are the same person who contacted me earlier and also on my Linkedin contacts. Congratulations again on your admit to CASS and HKUST. With regards to your points on Cass, see my inputs below

1.)Virus-situation is very bad in the UK
- It's the same everywhere and it's only gonna get worse for a while. But we just need to hope it will get better and wait for the right opportunities to arrive.
2.)Job Market-No one can predict what will happen after brexit, and today UK govt has said that they will not seek an extension on brexit and in previous years a lot of Indian students had to come back to India because of not being able to secure job with visa sponsorship.
-Brexit is not going to impact your job opportunities in UK. You may have heard about students going back to India post MBA but perhaps not hearing about those who have secured employment here. I know of one who got a job offer right into his last month of stay in UK. So if you are willing to go out and network there are plenty of opportunities here.
3.)Visa-uncertain visa regulations, although they have announced that 2 PSW will be given to all the students graduating in 2021.
- You have heard about PSW which is good. What you also need to know that come January 2021 the Visa rules are going to change. It will be a points based system. You can read more about it here > https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... -statement.

Cass will not be a bad investment should you decide to go for it. It will be difficult to find a right answer on online forums. Sometimes you just need to believe in yourself and do what you feel is right.

Regards,
Murty.

Hi. Congrats on your admits!

HKUST is a strong program and fairly prestigious. One challenge however, it’s hard to recruit in Hong Kong without speaking Cantonese or at least mandarin. My understanding from a number of years ago is that most international students recruit outside of Hong Kong in places such as Singapore and rest of Asia. I would recommend connecting was one of the first or second year’s at the program to figure out the latest recruiting options.

One cool thing about the program is it’s a very strong exchange partners. All students go on one semester abroad exchange during the second year fall semester. The exchange programs are top 15 US business schools and a number of top five in the world with a few regional programs. There is a chance you may be able to recruit with students in those programs in the fall of your second year but that can be a bit tricky without an OPT. Again something I would check with current students.

Cass, I don’t really know much about it. I’m sorry. I know you mentioned the corona and at the moment we have to look past and assume that things will get better soon. I don’t know how to evaluate the impact.

thanks, bb for your inputs, i don't have any such specific desire to work in a particular part of the world, my primary motivation for MBA is getting a best possible business education.
