Moving from Australia
This is my first post and I am wondering if anyone on this site has moved to either London or the US to pursue a career in finance.
Currently I am studying at Melbourne University a bachelor of finance, which is rated as the best uni in Australia, however I really want to leave this country as after 21 years I need a change. I feel like life is passing me by way to fast at the moment because I am so used to everything around me and my daily routine etc, I want to be in a situation where I feel like a kid again and everything is new to me.
I will be finished next year half way and i am thinking of saving as much money as I can now and then as soon as i am done go over to London for 3 months then the US and spend the entire time searching for employment.
I would hopefully already have received a job in Australia, so if i dont find a job in that 6 month period, Il be back and ready to start a graduate job here in January when they all start.
How hard would it be to find work with decent grades and hopefully I will score an internship this summer with an IB in Australia. Does this sound like good/bad idea?
Thanks in advance.
US will be hard. Unless you bring some sort of outstanding "skill" that is rarely possessed by Americans, it will be hard to find a company that will sponsor you.
No outstanding skills, just average/ above average in most things, London might be a better idea with the connections to the Crown.
Anway il try speak to a cousin when he gets to Aus next month as his mum works at world bank or bank of america for the past 15 years and may have some good connections.
Are you any good at call of duty 4: Modern Warfare? This is an excellent skill that most places like KKR and BX pay a lot of attention to.
Well done, happy.
