Soon to be French PhD with a brand New green Card

Hi,

I'm a French PhD Quant-Finance student (working on social-media-factor applied to Asset-management mid-to-long term strategies).

I hold a Master in quant-finance from top french University and have had 2 years experience in a quant-PM team at a top french bank followed by my current PhD position at a top French University.

I recently won the Green-Card diversity lotery and thus have decided to relocate to NYC.

I have actually no idea at all about how well my resume will be considered since very few fresh french graduates actually get to work in the US.

If you'd like to give me some advice on my resume, here is the link to the Topic : (/forums/soon-to-be-french-phd-who-won-the-green-card-lottery).

Thank you all.
