Move to US / London - approach

Hey all,

Looking for some advice to break into London / USA from Singapore. Does anyone know any precedents for people moving over? How difficult is this? I have 2-4 years of CRE investing / management experience

What I’ve tried to far:

  • cold email / call practically every recruiter, they say visa will be a issue or didn’t respond
    cold messaged a bunch of associates in either city and none of them have replied

Any advice to navigate this?
