Hi, I am a Bangladeshi student of Institute of Business Administration, University of Dhaka. I am in the final semester of my BBA, majoring in Marketing. My GPA is 2.90 out of 4. I have worked for marketing startup where I had executive, managerial and policy making roles during a span 2.5 years. My clientele included Philip Morris Bangladesh and Unilever Bangladesh Limited. I have also done 5 consumer based researches and 1 industry analysis for a few national companies as a freelancer. The reason behind my low GPA is working since the very first semester and giving it more priority over studies.
I am a permanent resident of USA. I plan to move there next year after my graduation. Some people suggested me to do Masters in Economics from Bangladesh, improve my GPA, sit for GMAT and then apply to an US Business School for MBA. Others are suggesting me to go for an undergrad degree in Finance.
The latter group argues that Bangladeshi degrees, bachelor or masters, will have no value in USA; marketing has very limited demand for foreign students like me; and it’s easier to get financial aid in undergrad.
Can anyone please verify these opposing opinions? Also, what should be my next course of action if I want establish a career in marketing, business development or consultancy sector?
Thanks in advance.

I would say start over from scratch and get your finance undergraduate degree in the US. Your low gpa will absolutely hurt you with most top programs, add in the fact that it isn't from a name brand undergraduate school and your major wasn't particularly challenging and you are behind the eight ball before you even get started. This time though make sure you really focus and take advantage of the rare opportunity to wipe the slate clean and start over.

Thanks for the reply.
Will a GMAT score of 650 compensate for my CGPA? I am not particularly interested in Finance. On the other hand, I love marketing and for the last 4 years all my work experiences are in marketing. What are career prospects of getting a degree on Marketing Analytics?
