Foreigner in NYC
So I'm graduating with my master's in mathematical finance soon and I was wondering, if I were to say I wanted a salary of $50,000 a year so long as my work visa got sponsored would any NYC finance firm sponsor? Or is it simply impossible to get a job in the USA if I haven't studied there? I ask because I applied for some analyst roles which pay 80-90k and said I want 60k and I'm wondering if I'll even be considered because I need a visa. Thanks.
There are firms that will sponsor your visa even if you didn’t study in the US
Do you happen to know of any or a list I could find? I've found nothing online. I'm looking to get paid less than I should just for the sake of better experience and being in NYC.
Pay is highly structured at the entry level- unlikely offering to work for less will get you an advantage at any credible firm. Sorry that you have an additional burden placed in front of you with the visa, but most large institutions sponsor.
Appreciate the candid response. Unfortunately I find that most of my applications are rejected within 1-24 hours (yes, that quick) for most US firms. I've relevant work experience, master's degree and am looking for low salary so I'm not sure what else apart from visa is preventing me being considered.
This seems like a relevant discussion for you (which banks sponsor)

If you are not making progress, try focusing on other things- resume, interview practice, etc.
Most applications in general are cut even before an interview. It’s a numbers game.
God bless you sir. I'll peruse this link and go nuts this weekend. Ordering pizza, pulling up the Netflix and busting out cover letters all night. I'll be burning that midnight oil baby.
They aren’t allowed to low ball you. They have to offer you the same as any American candidate. They would need to pay you market rate otherwise your application will be declined upon the review process.
