Hi there,
I am currently a head of fund management in Thailand with 11 years of experience as fund (portfolio) manager, buy-side analyst, and sell-side analyst. I plan to immigrate to US to continue to work in asset management industry. I am currently working on getting employment-based immigrant visa (with no job offer required), which hopefully I can get it and get the green card once I arrive to US.
As immigrant, I just want to get the sense how difficut to break into asset management industry in US? Do companies preferably hire locals more? What are things you would advise me to do to increase chance of getting the job? Do asset management companies value CFA much in US?
For my qualifications, I have 11 years of working experience as fund (portfolio) manager, buy-side analyst, and sell-side analyst. I used to work for global asset management in Thailand, and had awards for managing the fund as well. I am CFA Charterholder. I have expertise in stock picking, financial modeling, valuation, portfolio management. But also open for any courses you think it is interesting to take or what actions you think recruiter would look for.
I don't mind moving down the ladder as long as I can get the investment management job.
Looking forward to advice here.
Thank you very much.
