The pay is one of the largest by freshers standard, but the quality of work is pathetic. After a few amount of research I have found out that in almost all the companies in which the main development centre is in US ,the work in India is 2nd tier, its like the work not done there is thrown here. My aim is to get a good quality work and a decent pay .Will MS in a reputed institute serve my purpose? I am interested in specializing, and am not fond of the particular program called MBA , so where would an MS in some top league school in the US compared to an MBA from IIM or ISB in india? I know MBA requires substantial amount of experience , so should I opt for an MS in 1-2 years, or wait 4-5 years to gather experience and then pursue an MBA in India ,as I cannot afford to pursue MBA in top US degree. Also another question is that what are my chances of getting into the top universities in US? I have 92 and 94% in my boards and 8.3 GPA in college. So would a good GRE score suffice ? Would my experience working here at MSFT be useful for admission or after the course? and how important are research papers for this purpose? Thanking you, Chinmoy Hi Raghu,

They will usually ask you during the interview process. If they didn't make sure you ask. @ Carla : You can ask the HR person during the first interview or the hiring manager about H1B Visa.
