Moving to the US

Well-known that the visa is an issue for a European willing to move and find a spot in a US-based HF.


Should I avoid at all trying to move there?


Four effective ways that I do not intend to follow would be

a) do MBA in the US

b) work for the European office of a US-based and then ask to relocate

c) get golden visa

d) marry a US partner


Applying directly to offices in the US could bring me anywhere or is that just a waste of time? 3.5yrs of experience as equity analyst on the buyside (2 in a L/S equity HF).

 

Hi Investment Analyst in HF - Other, whoops, looks like nobody chimed in here.... maybe one of these discussions below is relevant:
