Is it easy for non-us investment bankers to obtain green card?

I'm a senior high from China. Thinking about going to IB after US college graduation and gain a bachelor degree related to stem major in order to have 3-year opt and try my best (IOW, good luck). Is it easy for international bankers to gain permanent residency? As far as I know, those international computer programmer have better chances getting PRs compared to investment bankers. Things may get tougher cuz I'm a Chinese.
