Many international students choose top US business schools for getting an MBA degree with the aim of building an international career and to get exposure working in a culturally different set-up. As if getting into one of the top business schools in the US wasn’t hard enough, getting placement in your dream company can be even more difficult. Students are expected to work just as hard on interview preparation or developing new post MBA resumes as they do in class.
We are outlining here important factors that can impact your chances of getting dream job after MBA. We have also prepared a table comparing placement rates and post MBA salaries of domestic and international students. At the end we have given brief description of various MBA specializations and types of jobs you can get in each specialization.

Maximize your chance of landing your dream post MBA Job
- Use School’s Career Services Optimally: Career Services Departments of Business schools support students not only in their immediate job search, but in also developing the competencies and career management skills required by companies today. “To optimize the school’s Career management center- build relationships with staff early- become someone they especially want to help! Be thoughtful, appreciative and receptive to feedback. Go to mock interviews- go to special sessions- seek out the advice from successful second years- don’t delay in taking this seriously- as the mark of success in B school is not so much your grades... but your job outcome” says Donna Bauman (former UNC adcom and admission consultant at Stratus prep) in our recent admission chat on GMATClub.
“One area that is really important for international students- first- impeccable English... that is non-negotiable- and generally the application interview on the adcom side tries to screen for that-- but this is a must. Also try in interviews to "look" the part- so pay attention to what students are wearing who are successful- model that. And take advantage of alumni network to research firms in advance of interviewing” Donna added. - Networking in MBA world refers to the links that candidates build within the student community, with professors, industry experts, alumni, and the corporate world. It is considered by many as an effective tool to have, especially during the critical job-hunting phase; The table below shows that approximately 10% to 20% students at top US schools obtain jobs through networking and alumni referrals. Networking is facilitated through various events. It could be through formal career/networking events organized by school’s administration or career service dept or informal events which may include class outings, treks, or weekly get-togethers organized by student clubs or special interest groups/clubs within student community.
- H1B Visa and Lottery System: The US H1B visa is commonly used by international students to work in US in a non-immigrant capacity. H1B visas are limited to 65,000 per year for the general population, plus an additional 20,000 for those with U.S. advanced degrees.
“While the F1B visa process was never a cakewalk for international students, the lottery system has made the H1B visa process more complicated than ever. Now there’s a whole new element of luck added to the mix.” Sameer Kamat, Founder of MBACrystalBall, points out in his blog post. In you are an international student, your struggle isn’t over when you clear the recruitment process and get a post-MBA job. You are still dependent on the unpredictability of the H1B visa lottery process to seal your destiny.
There was a famous story of a Kellogg graduate from India published in Fortune magazine, who failed to win H1B lottery and had to leave for Amsterdam despite getting decent job offer by Strategy&. International students should prepare for such eventualities and should have Plan B to deal with such situation. - Check whether your target companies sponsor H-1B visas: Companies such as Amazon, IBM, Google, Apple, etc. hire international students regularly and you can access information regarding firms which have provided H-1B visas in the past from dedicated visa websites. Here is a list of top 100 H1B Visa Sponsors published on MyVisaJobs. https://www.myvisajobs.com/Reports/2016- ... onsor.aspx

The real question how big will the impact of the new Trump administration immigration policies be on international student MBA program applications.
I was at a session at Yale SOM a few weeks ago and many of the international students I spoke to were very worried about job prospects if they wanted to stay in the US.
I imagine that international applications to the M7 programs could we way down next year while Insead, IE, HEC could see a huge influx of applications.

There is a high likelihood that President elect Trump will add further restrictions on the work visas such as H1B and L1B. As a result, the number of international applicants applying to American b schools is likely to plummet. He might also rollback the Obama-era regulations, like one making it easier for students to extend their authorization to study in the US if they go into STEM fields.
I believe the Trump era will be a defining moment in American history and will have a significant impact on the entire world.
But in today’s times such anti-competitive policies will have a significant backlash and thus a lot of jobs that Trumps hopes to protect might move outside the United States.
