Please please please give me some advice on my situation. I would much appreciate all inputs.
Hello everyone,
About my background, I am an international student, graduated from an unknown state school in Ohio with a bachelor in Finance. My GPA was mediocre (3.2), and I tried to pull it up with my final semester GPA of 3.9. While earning my degree, I have 2 internships: one in Corp Dev. and Strategy with a very big company in my home country, and one in wealth management with a reputable bank, and a lot of leadership activities.
I was set to graduate with a rotational corporate finance role in a big F500 company, but the offer was rescinded 2 weeks before my start date due to my work Visa situation. I did not give up and applied like crazy to jobs, and most of them turned me down due to Visa status. Fortunately, 3 weeks before my OPT due date, I received an offer for a temp position at a Big 4 company in Chicago.
I have been working here for a month, and I really hate it, but I love the company. The job is mostly administrative, and dreadful. Since I have some background in Finance instead of Accounting, I don't think I can land anything in Audit/Tax and my family/ I really cannot afford a master degree at least for now. I have been always interested in consulting. As I already graduated 4 months ago, what can I do now in order to break into transactions/ advisory/consulting? My school's alumni network is terrible so networking with alumni is not an option. How do I network in a new city? Should I email recruiters at my current company and how should I do so?
Please feel free to provide any recommendations. I am really OPEN to anything. Thank you so much in advance!
