TheStark Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 I did my MS in a decent college and have been working in my field FT since last 5 years. My 140 is approved under Eb2 (PD is Aug 2015). Job security, salary, manager, team, etc. all are pretty good so far (touch wood). But, since last 1 year or so, I feel like my work is getting more and more monotonous and less challenging. My manager is totally aware of my work style and he assigns new projects to me from time to time. However, they are not up to the challenge/learning-curve I was hoping for. I need advice on the available options for me. 1. Be patient until the GC is current (which could be 10 more yrs) while waiting for the next logical step for my role (that is, the manager role, which could take 5-7 yrs). 2. Enroll in college as a part-time student and get an MBA or a second MS degree. This is allowed by my company. 3. Leave the job, enroll in PhD as a full time student. I understand that my current GC may be washed away with this method and I am okay with re-applying for GC after PhD (~5 years). Thanks for your input.

PhD anedi out of interest tho cheyali...especially in US..not just for getting GC soon...even though PHD chesina GC thondaraga vastundi anna guaranty ledu..u need to have lot of papers published under your name and the job u get after u complete u r PHD requires a phd degree in order for you to qualify under EB-1. so think about u r chocies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can switch role, career, and responsibilities. You need to figure out 2 things. How much your company is going to sponsor, and how far the best MBA program is? Best in the sense, it needs to be in top 15 in FT ranking. Otherwise, no use of MBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is enough. Of course, he needs to pay taxes. A typical MBA PT program in Top 15 costs around 120K including books. 25% - taxes would come to 100K. After MBA, sign on bonus is 25K. Another 10K for relocation and so on. Basically, if everything works out well, the effective cost of MBA PT is 75K. He can recover that in 2-3 years. Limitless opportunities after the program.
