How hard is it to transfer to a US finance job after uni in the UK?

Let’s say I’ve just finished my degree in engineering from a top uk uni, I’ve done some summer internships over the past few years, I have a US passport. How hard would it then be for me to go to NY and get a job? Or would you suggest staying and doing some years as an analyst in London for a bit then trying to transfer over (or would this likely trap me in the uk)?

All opinions and help wld be appreciated lots.
