Here is my brief anecdotal story.<p>I&#x27;m from South America, have a b.s. in computer science and worked in management consulting before going to business school. For the past few years, I&#x27;ve been working in tech and living with my family in the Bay area solely because of my MBA.<p>I&#x27;m not referring to the academic knowledge I gained, or the global mindset I now have, nor the network I built, which are all valuable. For internationals like myself, the MBA is a great opportunity to make a radical change in your career, as well as your personal life.
