Hi Everyone.


I am a banking professional with experience of over 5 years. I am planning to do MBA or MS this year. But I am confused in regards to what to choose,MBA or MS I.S.
I have 5 years experience working in banking sector, my profile was client management. I have already done MBA once from India. I am unable to decide what shall I do?

Since I do not have IT background, i wonder how will I cope up with MS I.S. And what will be the chances of getting jobs after the course.
And doing the same will make me kind of a fresher and my 5 years work experience will go in vain. Since that experience is in Key account management.

And If I take MBA, though this time it will be a foreign degree but again it will be kind of a redundancy. But my work experience may help me getting a job.
But here OPT period is just one year. I wonder if I will be able to seek H1b in first short.

Please guide!!!

My acadmeic background: BBA - GPA: 3.4/4
MBA (Marketing & Finance)- GPA: 3.2/4

MBA CIS: Pros: Will make more sense to me.
Cons: Only one year OPT

MS IS: Pros: More job market for IT people, 3 years opt
cons: I do not have IT background.
