International Student here

Hi, I graduated with a Master's degree in International Business with a concentration on corporate finance. Looking for some help on how a non US citizen can break into IBD or PE here in NYC.

Agree with Ed. Focus on networking and school alumni to break in. Applying to a ton of jobs may not be the most efficient given international student status--some companies would reject outright because of their no sponsorship policy. Focus most of your efforts on networking for larger firms.

For the lead! Sipag, tiyaga, at lakas ng loob!
