How to start a career in finance?

Hi everyone!
I need an advice what better to do in my situation.
A year ago I finished one of the best universities in Russia with Dual Degree Program with University of London International Programmes, Under Academic Direction of London School of Economics. I am BSc Economics and Finance. Was top 10% in the class in statistics and econometrics.
Also I have some work experience in McKinsey & Company for 10 month(Moscow,Russian office).
I am a green card holder( legally authorized to work in the United States).
Is it possible for me to find a work in US in finance or consulting?
Is CFA Level 1 will increase my chances to successfully find a work?
Where is better to start my search?
I just want to start my career in US from any position except sales or working on phone and things like that.
(I want to find a job where I will grow as a professional)
Any advices are welcome!
Thank you!
