Breaking into WallStreet from third world country (IB), General advice.

Hi, I am a third-world citizen (Mongolian if that matters) seeking insights and general advice on what to do next.

I recently graduated and started working at a finance company here in Mongolia. My life is okay, but it's still hard and sometimes depressing, as I've realized I might live like this my entire life unless I leave my country. I've been researching the finance industry, especially in the USA, and I'm looking for advice from anyone who had a similar experience.

From what I’ve seen, most Mongolians who works in IB (or any big finance company in the US for that matter) had significant advantages early in life. They were already US citizens, had wealthy oligarch parents, or attended expensive private schools here in Mongolia that produce many Ivy League alumni (these schools can cost up to $20,000, while the average Mongolian salary is $560).

In contrast, I grew up in a communist block with my grandparents and went to public school. I graduated with a finance degree from a top university here in Mongolia (though "top" doesn't mean much in terms of education quality). I was a good student, class leader, and participated in many extracurricular activities etc.

I’m unsure of what to do next. Obviously, I should focus on my current job and gain work experience while progressing in my career and eventually applying to an M7 MBA program in the US. But there are many uncertainties.

From what I understand, I need work experience that matters, but mergers and acquisitions are not really a thing here, and even big finance deals are only in the few million dollars. Mongolia was a communist country until 1991, so our finance sector isn’t very developed.

Getting into an M7 MBA program is another challenge, not to mention the tuition costs. Then, getting a job in the US involves obtaining an H1B visa, which is essentially a lottery. Additionally, being an Asian male, I don’t qualify for diversity.

There is also smaller issues, Such as not being native English speaker, cultural difference etc. But those are workable in my opinion.

Is there anyone here who has had a similar experience and can offer some advice?
