Are Canadian IB Analysts cooked? Am I cooked?
I am a Canadian IB analyst in a Power/utilities/infra/energy related group (not at RBC). I'm about a year into the job and am wondering if I'm cooked as someone who wants to work in the U.S. one day.
- Do I have to lateral to another (U.S.) bank to get serious looks in the U.S.? Specifically thinking infra funds
- Would it be smarter to just go to one of the Canadian pension funds on their infra team and then somehow lateral to a real GP fund in the states? Or is this delusional?
Should I do an MBA, or would this just delay the inevitable (working in Canada)?
Please help me WSO I am afraid that I am doomed to a Canadian career
The lack of responses seem to support the "cooked" hypothesis
What do you mean by “serious looks”? Serious looks from whom? If you want to move to the US in the current environment easiest way is to work for your current bank in the US under L-1 Visa.
its sad because the bank is decently impressive here but a joke in the U.S. but i appreciate the advice. Would that actually be a better effort/reward than just holding out for an upgrade (i.e. going from my current role to a true BB in the U.S.?)
