Hi everyone,
I am an MBB consultant from the EU and I am pursuing a top MBA in the US (M7).
I have a sponsorship offer from my home office with a lock-in time of 2 years. For several reasons, after the MBA, I NEED to go back to my home country (where my home office is located) for 2-3 years and will not be able to pursue the more paved route of asking a transfer while in my MBA. But my mid-term plan is to go back to the US.
How would you suggest I should plan this move? Do you think it is something feasible or extremely difficult?
Thank you very much for the answer! The only problem I see is that I have been sponsored by my home office, so they might be reluctant to send me away (even after a couple of years of post MBA work). Also I wanted to understand: - how shall I start planning ahead in terms of networking while here in the US? - when should I start to discuss it with my HR?
Once you've done the two years they can't really stop you. They also understand that people move around a lot. I would say you should network normally now but the reality is the people you meet now may or may not be there a year later. The best way to move is to try and get staffed on a short term study there one year before you plan to move and use that to build connections
