In need of advice. International Student Job Search in the U.S.
Hi, how are you? I am currently an MSc in Economics student at Bocconi University, Italy (no. 3 business school in Europe in this year's FT ranking). Fluent in 4 languages. Upon graduation I would like to move to the U.S. (preferably west coast) to start my career here. Right now I am evaluating two paths..
1) get another Master's degree in the U.S. and subsequently leverage on the schools' career services and alumni networks to get a decent entry-level position. Schools considered: Johnson, Darla Moore, Olin, Foster, Anderson
2) enter directly into the U.S. job market, gain 2-3 years of professional experience and do an MBA at a top-25 U.S. b-school
Visa is not an issue (I have a U.S. resident status). Money for education, even though has some constraints, is not an issue either. Neither is age (when I graduate from my MSc I will have the age of a Junior at an American college).
My target industry is Finance, which I would like to have a solid position in mid-career. However, I'll be happy to start in any business-related field.
Considering my education, aims and constraints, what would you choose if you were me?
I do not know any working professionals the U.S. to ask this (maybe stupid haha) question, so any advice from professionals, especially those who come from universities abroad will be very much appreciated.
