What's next for Canadian students wanting to make it to the US?
Currently a Canadian high school student (attending university this fall at a semi-target).
My plan was to break into IB in NYC or anywhere in the States but the visa situation means it's now impossible. Even if I didnt break in, I feel like I could have worked on Bay St. for a while before breaking in later, but now going to the US at all isn't really an option.
Finance is pretty shit in Canada, I don't want to grind to break in just to work 80+ hours/week to make ~120k CAD/year. Some people tell me things will be fixed when the US president's term is over, but it seems pretty dumb to work on Bay St. for a while if I hate it, just in hopes that I will eventually make it to the US.
For now, my plan is to just keep going and find out what I like; I want to try VC, PE, Consulting, maybe S&T, but does anyone have any advice?
TN visa issue is firm specific to EVR, everywhere else is still hiring as many Canadians as before. Pipelines outside of Ivey -> EVR still alive and well
I worked on bay street for 10 years and then moved down in my early 30s on my TN (almost at GC now). Better to get started now, get experience and make the move.
