Post MBA Job Search

Hi All, 

I will be Graduating in December with my MBA and Bachelors in Finance as part of a 4+1 from a mid school (right around top 80). I have 1 year of work experience split into 2- 6 month internships, one client service and one middle office stuff. As I am applying to jobs I was looking for some guidance. What kind of roles would I have a fair chance at getting and what salary range should I be looking at for cities like Boston, NY, Chicago, Dallas, Philadelphia based on my qualifications. Job search has been tough so far but looking for any and all advice I can get. 

Best to all.
