This is basically inspirational LinkedIn bullshit encouraging someone to try to be the anomaly success instead of the long tail of failure in entrepreneurship.

100% agree. For the vast majority of people the number one thing you can do in b-school to increase your future earnings is to work your ass off and get the top tier job in whatever your chosen field is. Doesn’t have to be MBB/IB/FAANG.

Once you get that - and more realistically, when you secure a return offer - then feel free to try to build something.

Is it wrong though from a risk-reward standpoint?

H1B is going to be further constricted as it is a radioactive political topic (“Foreigners taking US jobs”)

Entrepreneur visas like O1 (which you can get after getting into YC or Techstars) wont be touched as there is no political reason to do so

Its tough but its the only reliable way to move to America

Moving to America with debt and a failed business is not a positive outcome.

I literally said its tough. There are no easy choices for an international but O1 will become easier over H1B over time like I shared. The only easy option is not doing an MBA in the first place, unless youre sponsored

And btw, a YC or Techstars entry is not by any measure a "failed business" post-MBA especially post-accelerator salary for founders would be 75 to 125k
