Ideal Stepping Stone for Project Finance

Originally from South Africa but go to US non-target school. I know for certain I want to do public/project finance for my career, and I plan to live in the US long term. I've networked a bunch and tried to find entry level roles at development banks, project finance advisory firms, (finance-type roles) at engineering firms, BB IB Municipal Finance, and Project/Public Finance Investment Banking Analyst jobs and no luck for FT.

I am graduating in a few months (June) and will be entering a Big 4 accounting "consulting-ish" kinda job.

Would the PF'ers out there agree that these are the best stepping stones for project finance:

- rating agency
- leveraged finance
- commercial/corporate banking
- something with credit
- well... investment banking cause duh you can finagle anything

I understand there is no correct answer, but curious what the PF'ers out there feel is the ideal stepping stone role to enter U.S. infrastructure/project finance advisory without an MBA.... besides, well.... project finance.

Oh.. and Plz help me break in

Investment Banking Other

“Easily the most helpful mentor and favorite person I have worked with by far. Was extremely responsive in the slack messaging, working around me, asked for some of my past materials so that he could prepare beforehand, and during the call, really helped walk through everything I was struggling with. Ultimately, came out of the call significantly more prepared and confident then beforehand. Michael was an overall excellent head mentor, and I am super excited to work with him in the future as well. ”

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“he did really good. he was very thoughtful and we worked through a question then feedback format as it was my first mock. I really enjoyed talking to him as he was very knowledgable and, as it was my first mock we sort of were understanding how it really flows. But for some topics that i struggled on, he knew how to tailor it in a way that I could understand and ultimately made me more knowledgable overall. I guess sometimes he wasn't as engaged with my answers but still took notes which was nice of him”
