Ans: Good question. Since already he is with TATA Power I will advise him to stick to their only for job security and brand name of TATA. If he wants to flourish further he has to leave the country and again he has to search job in European countries. Whether USA will accept the MS from Belgium is a great question to me also, But he can join some company which can send him to USA in H-1B visa and if luck permits he will get H-1B visa in lottery, but before that the company must sponsor him for H-1B. If he doesn't want to leave the country then I would advise him to stick to TATA Power only. He can go for an online MBA ( stream he will choose) which will be a feather in his cap.
Be in touch with me, follow me here and join me in LINKEDIN also.. Don't worry. Everything will be fine. I counselled thousands of students. GOD BLESS YOUR SON. Regards.Professor............................:)
