You will typically start in an individual contributor role after completing your master's abroad. Most international graduates begin in positions where they apply their skills directly, such as analyst, engineer, or specialist roles.

Managerial positions usually require several years of professional experience and proven leadership abilities. As you gain experience and demonstrate your capabilities, you can progress to managerial roles over time. This applies in both the UK and the US.
