MBA prospects for Indian 23yo in consulting

Hi everyone, I’m a 23 yo woman from India, currently working at a leading social impact consulting firm, and I graduated from a tier-1 college in India. I’ve been seriously considering an MBA, but I’m torn about pursuing one in the US, given the current economic climate and geopolitical uncertainties. Over the last 3-4 years, I feel the landscape has shifted significantly, and the path of getting an MBA in the US as a way to boost career mobility seems less appealing and riskier than it once did.

While I’m still drawn to the educational experience of an MBA in the US, I’m increasingly concerned about post-MBA outcomes, specifically employment opportunities and financial stability, especially with the volatility in the job market. An MBA in India on the other hand may not offer enough of a leap in terms of career prospects, considering where I am today.

I know there’s no clear-cut answer here, but I’d love to hear thoughts from others who might have faced similar concerns. Do you think an MBA in the US is still worth it, especially for someone like me? While education is important, my top priority is ensuring that the investment in an MBA translates to tangible career growth, particularly because I don’t come from a wealthy background.
