I am damn confused about which country and college should i choose , India, somewhere in Asia, Europe or US ( Even thinking about New Zealand , Australia ). My basic concern is finances . I come from humble background and whether shelling out 50–60 lakhs is worth it . I need advice on that. Idea is to get and mba, get placed and settle in that country preferably
Below is my basic profile.
Academics
N.I.T. Nagpur ( Civil Engg 2011 batch : CPI 7.23 )
Science + Math’s Stream
GMAT (include Q/V breakdown and percentiles):
Total : 680
Q 50 V 31
Professional Experience
No. of years of experience: 05 years ( Role Planning Manager )
Why do you want to do an MBA/Master’s? What are your short term career goals (immediately after graduating)?
I do believe that I am not getting the desired exposure. Hence doing MBA/ Masters would give me outlook towards life with what I am looking for.
I have keep interest in again learning business concepts.
I want to join great firms and do exciting job
I am good at analysing stuff. Hence Short term goal is to try new stuff, analyse and finally get into the career which excites me the most.
I do feel that Career in Consulting, Analytics & Operations are best suited to me.
I have keep interest in finding solutions to different problems and would like to continue with that.
I never liked core marketing, finance. However, the basic idea is necessary I guess so as to get an overall picture of business.
Along with all of above, I aspire for a work life balance

Hey dude,
Okay so first thing is first, although you can get into some pretty good schools with a 680, you can get into better schools with a 720 and even better with a 740, so if you can reach it, you may want to retake your GMAT.
Here's an article that considers that:
https://admissionado.com/mba/to-retake-o ... n=mba_blog
Second: Neither I nor anyone can tell you where you want to live. You have to decide that for yourself. US? Germany? Sweden? Canada? France? Spain? Netherlands? Norway? You need to figure that out yourself.
Finally, r.e. the cost. There is a certain amount of adventure and risk involved in spending money you can't afford on an education, when the future is unsure. But that's the cost. It's an investment. IF you want to leave, then do it.
(although you DO also have a safer alternative: If you want to go to a local program (i.e. learn in German in Germany) say a Masters in Operations, it is free. But if you want to do an MBA, it costs.
Best,
Jon
