Advice on starting as a FO Analyst

Hello Monkeys,

I am starting my masters this year in the UK at a target (think Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, LSE) in a finance related area. I am thinking of ideally breaking into the NYC market as an IBD analyst but I am also open to London as well as HK markets. Ive also done a few internships in MM IBD divisions in HK. What are my chances of landing a FO Analyst role in the US given I am also a US citizen?

Thanks in advance!
