underrated regions for finance?

Hello! I am a high school student from South Korea aspiring to pursue a career in corporate banking/finance, investment banking, or consulting. I initially intended to study at a UK university due to its strong reputation in finance and the relatively lower emphasis on degree specialization in the British finance market (I was considering majors such as geography or politics). However, recent political changes in the UK have made it increasingly difficult for international students to secure finance-related roles. I would like to know if there are other regions that may offer better opportunities.

For reference, I have a B2 level of proficiency in Spanish.
