Pathways into American buyside as Australian
I'm an Australian looking to get into an American buyside job, hopefully in New York. Can someone suggest some potential pathways to do this? Please mention specific unis if relevant to your response.
Lot of international students get MBAs in America that would probably be the most straightforward way
What is the best uni to get an MBA in your opinion, to get into NY?
Not even trying to be a d*ck but in this current job market, marrying a U.S citizen would be your best bet. Unless you know someone hire up in a firm and they can somehow vouch that you have extra ordinary talent which isn't available in the USA. But that in itself is extremely difficult.
Do PE at a strong brand in Australia -> US M7 MBA -> pray you land
Alternatively, work at an American firm in Australia and get them to bring you over after a few years
Not going to be possible to get recruited directly to NY from Australia, so you need to get a great job over there first.
US visas are generally incredibly difficult to get, and most buyside firms don't want to go through the hoops to sponsor when they have plenty of qualified people who are US citizens with no hassle. London might be easier and I think the visas are easier for Australians
Australians can obtain the E3 visa
A lot easier said than done. The prerequisite is getting an offer first, and many places (especially PE firms) have blanket bans on sponsoring, regardless of nationality. Even Canadians have a very hard time getting sponsored/getting jobs, and that visa is very quick and easy.
Met a handful of Australians in the US on the buyside.
If you're still in high school, go to a target school in the US
If you're already in college / started work, get the best job possible in Australia and then ask for an internal transfer.
If you have a great job in Sydney and *critically*, already have gained some PE experience, then go to HSW (Harvard / Stanford / Wharton) for your MBA (going into a reputable PE shop post-MBA without pre-MBA experience in PE even from HSW is extremely hard, and everything is made harder by the fact you don't have the US passport)
Considering i am an international requiring foreign aid, what are some good targets to consider?
