Structuring - Move from APAC to US, advice?
My husband got his MFE in US, but went to work in APAC after graduation. Now he has 6 yrs of experience in equity exotics structuring, and is currently working in a mid-size IB in HK.
We are now thinking for him to move back to US. Unfortunately, his current company does not have a very meaningful presence in US so it's hard for him to transfer. When we began to (experimentally) search in LinkedIn with keywords like "equity derivatives structuring", it seems there are only a handful of relevant jobs in US.
So I'm coming to this forum to seek for potential advice in US job hunting -
1. Is LinkedIn a good platform to search for structuring (or snt in general, for that matter) jobs?
2. Are there any headhunter specifically dedicated to structuring in US?
Generally, any advice on our situation is greatly appreciated!
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some insights that might help:
LinkedIn can be a useful platform for job hunting, but it shouldn't be the only one you rely on. It's a great tool for networking and getting your profile out there, but it's also worth exploring other job boards, company websites, and industry-specific platforms.
As for headhunters, they can be a valuable resource in your job search. While I don't have specific names to share, there are certainly recruitment agencies and headhunters that specialize in finance roles, including structuring. It might be worth reaching out to a few to see if they can assist in your search.
Networking is key. The finance industry, including structuring roles, often relies heavily on networking. Your husband's alumni network, professional associations, and even social events can be great places to meet people who might have leads on job opportunities.
Consider broadening the search. If you're finding that there aren't many jobs in equity derivatives structuring, it might be worth considering related roles that could use your husband's skills. This could potentially open up more opportunities.
Be prepared for visa issues. If your husband isn't a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, he may face challenges in securing a work visa. Some companies might be hesitant to go through the process, so it's something to be prepared for.
Remember, job hunting can take time, so don't be discouraged if things don't fall into place right away. Keep networking, keep applying, and stay positive. Good luck!
