No FT Offer — Should I Do a US Master’s to Break into Fixed Income?

Hey all,

I’m a fresh grad from a target uni in a financial hub in Asia with a few fixed income-related internships, but I haven’t been able to land a full-time offer.

I’m really keen on building a career in fixed income and ideally want to work in the US for 3–5 years. Since recruiting hasn’t worked out, I’m thinking of doing a US Master’s in Finance — but I’m not sure if it’s the right move just because I can’t find a job.

Would love to hear thoughts — is the Master’s worth it in my case, or should I explore other routes like starting in Asia and trying to move later?

Appreciate any advice!
