Do you guys think USA is the only place to be or suggestions on pivoting :')

My_qualifications: UG Mech, 3 yrs of IT work experience now....

It's been a while now, I have been at this higher education thingy for two years now. I primarily targeted usa and got the best of best unis but visa situation messed things up....

And it's just getting to me, I wanted a degree DS/ CS as it aligns with my goals and it helps me to transition into IT better in the long run as I have a mechanical degree in undergrad.

Now, I'm pivoting towards autralia but still I feel it's doesn't compare to what USA is and I'm not sure if it's worth chance in australia or its a big no...

Or maybe shd I target european countries.... But the language thing always bugged me over there and hence australia and I didn't think much about canada...

Pls don't come at me saying it's useless to do a masters, everything is bad etc etc... I get it, I have seen so much now and I feel yeah that's how things are but still I can't wait for a better time to pursue stuff I can just do what is good at the moment and figure things but I really need your honest views, if it's negative and real I'm all in to listen...

I genuinely want the actual ppl to give opinions on this...

My confusion is that if it's worth the masters now or shd I go ahead with an mba itself??

If a masters which country as I can't let go of the fact that anything would be better than USA...

Also I got a f1 reject and due to that I'm actually thinking of it's worth the gamble on usa again as I already wasted three years trying for it...

I mean last year slots not available, the first year I was late to application and this year my first reject so not sure how to pivot out of this

CAT or GMAT (and help in picking the course)

Hello, I have decided to try for mba this year. I am working full time so along with it I have to do smtg, it's more than three years in a dead job so I am stuck for a change in terms of a career. It's tough and I feel I am late and it's catching up to me, I feel overwhelmed if I would get the test score etc

I am starting with the prep. Since, it's June already I am very confused on which one I shd take or what does it look like with this time frame. I thought GMAT I can maybe try, as many threads said CAT was tough and needed attempts and a year long prep. But, I'm still worried and maybe I can stretch for 3 or 4 months for the prep of GMAT as many schools start the admission.

But since it's June already, can anyone pls give legit advice from your experience....

  1. GMAT or CAT (In terms of Prep)

  2. If GMAT (can it be done by August end or early September? And is that Top one percent course good enough to prep?)
