Best path to move to NYC, LDN from Tokyo
Hi, I’m gonna start as a sales analyst of cross asset solution of big BB in Tokyo (think GS, MS, JPM).
My main goal is moving to global financial center from Tokyo. I wanna know what’s the best path to do that.
Currently I am thinking that Sales (Tokyo) > Top MBA > Sales Associate hiring (NYC or LDN).
However, I also found out that there is only few BBs have post MBA S&T associate program and more graduate programs around primary side. So my another option is that Sales (Tokyo) > Capital Markets (Tokyo) > MBA > MBA associate (NYC or LDN).
I am not sure which path is better or letting me know if there is another way.
I am not considering internal lateral, because it tend to be only a few years of “training in NYC”.
thank you :)

Why don’t you lateral internally in NYC and then look for jobs in NYC during your “few years of training in NYC?” Not sure if all your routes should involve an mba as it’s expensive and not really needed for sales and trading.
I think that’s also reasonable way, but I just don’t wanna consider internal lateral would happen, because it has to do with a lot more uncontrollable variables (head counts, literal to the desk which let me go oversea offices etc).
So, I personally feel it would be better to focus on the path that I can control/make efforts by myself. Of course, I am happy to take the “few years in NYC” opportunity if I am lucky enough.
Another way out is to simply skip the MBA part. Work until you get to VP and lateral. In that case you probably won’t face to deal with all that weeds
Are you Japanese?
If so, you might have a pretty good chance of getting into a top MBA program since Japanese students are underrepresented compared to Chinese and Korean students.
I went to one of the best MBA programs (think HBS/GBS) and Japanese students were noticeably underrepresented. It seems Japanese people are simply not applying to MBA programs as much as they used to in the past. I suspect it's because less and less firms in Japan are sponsoring their employees to get an MBA (obviously, some top firms such as McKinsey still do).
If you are at a top BB, you will be a competitive candidate.
