Looking to get into IB when youre not a US citizen

I have always wanted to get into IB but the field in my country (Mexico) is very limitted. I have always favored the US bankong industry but landing a a job is hard. I was thinking of doing an MBA in the US and look for a job while im studying but i would love to start right now im currently 24 years old and have a valid US Bachellor's Degree in Business Administration. Mostly looking in the SoCal area

UCLA can guarantee you a job in IB if you can get into the program (granted you're remotely capable of the job)

No idea but i have a lot of daft friends who've entered the program and have secured associate IB positions at Rothschild, Credit Suisse, and BoA. If IB /Socal is your preference its a no brainer.
