Thank you very much for your response!
Tell us the country you want a book on. Different books for different colleges.
Primarily, I am talking about the US. As I understand upon graduation you are supposed to change your visa from F (education) to one of the work ones. But the devil is in the details. So I wonder:
1. What is the time period you are allowed to stay upon graduation before changing a visa (what if I don't get a job offer right away?)
2. Is it required for an employer to support this transition somehow by sponsoring visa or otherwise helping me or can I do everything by myself as soon as I got an offer?
3. What are the other hidden risks?
4. What are the other limitations I might experience compared to locals? (Obviously, not in regards of language skills, etc but in terms of official status)
5. Will the difficulty of making this transition depend on school and employer or are they totally irrelevant in this regard?
I'm thinking about Australia (Australian School of Business and Melbourne Business School) and maybe Canada (University of Toronto: Rotman and University of British Columbia: Sauder) as a total out-of-box less preferrable back-up option. I do realize that schools score much lower in all the rankings and that the experience and result might be very different. But I wonder if the answers to the questions above will be different.
In terms of education provided, difference in methodology is intrinsic to that particular B School. In terms of student life, yes. In terms of career services and placements opportunity, huge.
Yes, I do realize that there huge differences among countries in multiple factors: from cultural experience, to school rankings, networking to career opportunities. That's kind of goes without saying I guess.
But here particularly I am interested solely in difficulty and nuances of obtaining a work permit.
Does the name of school and and employer matter a lot?
Name a school : after you leave the BSchool: Definitely for the first 5-7 years.
Employer : Depends
Then, could you elaborate please what are the particular differences between TOP schools, such as Stanford/Harvard and let's say Kellogg in terms of the questions discussed. I do realize basic obvious principle of Better school => better chance of finding a good job => better chance of staying.
But I do need more insights and details here.
Thank you!
