Hello, I have a BSc in Accounting and Finance and MSc in Financial Management (Both from Top Schools in Greece) .
Also I work for Deloitte as an Analyst in Greece.
What is the right methodology to find a job @ IB or AM in NYC if you require also sponsorship. (not immediately, but lets say in max 3-4 years)
My educational plan now is to obtain CFA Level I, is it a good idea ?
PS: I will appreciate comments from foreign people that work in NYC

The CFA L1 exam will not help you get into IB. I think you have a couple of paths:
a) Transfer to Deloitte NYC then transfer to IB
b) Get a top 10 MBA in the US then go to IB
c) The most unlikely path - transfer directly to NYC IB
If you get to Deloitte NYC, you're probably going to have to go to a regional IB shop. You might not break into a BB or EB unless you get the T10 MBA.
Would try to move to London IB (will be an uphill battle tho) and then try and transfer internally to NY.
Thank you very much for the advice.
Tomorrow I have interview for O&A Associate role based in NY and I have concerns that i got the interview by mistake.. that's why i am asking.
