Which is a better course to pursue, MBA or MSBA?

If ultimately, all you're looking for is a six digit salary, you should consider all the things that could go wrong in this process. Here's the most important one I could think of: is your program under STEM? STEM programs have a unique advantage over non-STEM programs in that they allow the student to extend their first 12 months of OPT to work for an additional 24 (or 29? Sorry unsure here) months. During this OPT period of 3 years in total, you have an advantage of filing for a H1B visa 3 times in total until you get one. MBA in the US is a non-STEM degree and would require you to find an employer that files a H1B petition in your 12 months of OPT. There is no extension available for non-STEM degrees. If you're unable to get a visa through the tough lottery system of H1Bs, you'll be asked to leave the country once your valid visa expires. Hope that helps. Good luck!
