Yes, moving abroad for a Master's after four to five years of work experience can be a strong option, especially for business programs.

- Stronger applications: Many business schools value applicants with significant work experience, which can improve your chances of admission and scholarship opportunities. - Better post-study work options: Countries like Latvia and Germany offer pathways for international graduates to stay and work after studies. For example, Germany provides an 18-month post-study work permit (subject to change), while Latvia allows graduates to apply for a work permit if they secure a job offer. - Career growth: Combining work experience with a Master's can accelerate your career, making you eligible for advanced roles and higher salaries.
