Hi,
I am considering applying for an MBA program and while I was shortlisting schools I noticed a big challenge. The visa. In the USA, after you OPT expires, you are at the mercy of a lottery. So even if you find an employer who will sponsor your H1B, you can never be sure. Student visas at all european nations expire at graduation.
With the cost that each program comes with, most students go into debt. Is it really worthwhile to take such a risk ? I mean, it turns out that if luck doesnt favour you, you might just have to return home with a mountain of debt (and no job).

In the US, you can pursue other masters which called 'STEM'. It gives you up to 3 years after graduation to stay in USA. When you target this master, make sure it is mentioned clearly it is STEM program.
While you are right about European visa, you miss something. After graduation, you can change the type of visa to something called 'searching for job'. You can enjoy 12-18 months. It may sound difficult to finance your accommodation during this period without securing a job but it is better than returning home. UK has its special case for visas.
I hope it helps
