MF Analyst, one more H1B Shot, next steps?
Hi everyone,
Started a MF analyst program in July. My firm applied for H1b during senior year, but I did not win the lottery. Now, I have just one more shot at it next year. Anyone knows if most MF transfer you to the London office (firm is very global) in case the lottery goes bad again? I heard some people get MF offers with the option to start in London if they don't win H1B in their banking analyst years but not sure if this is true. Really worried right now and wondering if anyone knows if PE firms are more willing to transfer you compared to IB firms. Does anyone have experience with it?
In case I don't win the lottery, will I just be fired? I can't imagine working this hard to get this role and then having to go back to my country without a job :(
Why are you asking WSO instead of your firms HR department?
Wanted to have an idea of the situation/hear other people experience before speaking directly
At the investment bank i worked at years ago and at the fund I worked at after (global UMM) they would indeed send people to London if they didnt get the H1B.
I mean even if they don’t I’m sure you could speak to London headhunters and they would place your somewhere if you’re at a reputable MF
It’s better to have a conversation with your line manager re: either transferring next year or potentially starting your green card process early
can you keep working while waiting for GC?
In my BB group our associate didn't win the lottery and he's going to London for a year, with the plan of returning to our group after (he is really well liked in our group)
I'm sure your treatment will in part depend on your reviews, but if they are somewhat good the firm will work to keep you.
I m very experienced in this topic feel free to pm me
