I'm currently living in Australia and if you haven't noticed, finance jobs are very hard to get in Australia especially investment banking. I am graduating from university next year around June and I am seriously considering moving to the US to apply for an investment banking role at hopefully a bulge bracket like Goldman Sachs. I am studying at a target school, top 50 ranked university in the world which is also in the top 10 business schools in the world. Do you guys think I should move to America and which states do you think I got a competitive chance to score an investment banking analyst role? Obviously not New York since it's filled with Ivy league students but maybe Salt Lake City or Texas.

If you haven't noticed, it's very hard to get an investment banking job in the U.S. as well.
There are plenty of good schools here, and everyone graduating wants to work at "a bulge bracket like Goldman Sachs." The main regional locations outside of NYC would be SF, Chicago, and Houston, which are all competitive and have plenty of good schools to hire kids from locally (ex. - Stanford, University of Chicago, University of Texas, etc...)
Blindly applying yields marginal results in the U.S. at target schools. Moving across the world to do the same...... you get it. Never give up though.
if you are at a target school shouldn't you have OCR.... just go start talking to bankers. Hit up alumni.
