IB or Strategic Consulting for a foreigner to move to NYC or LDN?
My profile -A Japanese -Graduating from Japanese University(Undergrad) -Lived in both cities and speak fluent(non-native) english -Do not have the citinzenship or the visa currently -Currently have some fulltime offers from IB and Consulting(in Japan office)
I would like to hear your opinions on which option has the highest chance for me to move to NYC or LDN? Also I would appreciate if you could specify the teams(industry or product wise) and the career paths as well.
-IB(coverage, MA, ECM or DCM?) -Strategic Consulting -PE(Corporate or Real Estate?) -HF(which type?)
The following is not my kind of field currently but probably possible to break into after a few years. -Corporate Banking(RM, FX or treasury solutions) -Sales(Equity or Bonds) -Trading(Equity or Bonds) -Equity Research(Japanese equities, US or UK) -Structuring
Thank you very much for reading.
Not trying to be harsh but they all sound pretty improbable. The biggest issues are your visa and your background. Unless you can craft a REALLY good story on why you need to shift to London/NY after graduating from local university and getting a FT in the same country, I don't see why any companies would go out of their way to sponsor a visa.
Try doing an MBA or something 3-4 years down the road.
Thank you for your answer!
I am considering MBA a couple of years after working in a professional firm as well. Could you possibly tell me your opinion on which gig I should do before MBA?
Thank you!
