Would the finance industry sponsor me to go to the US?
Hi all,
I hope to go into the finance industry, Sales & Trading or such like in the future in a trading firm or bank in the US, hopefully NYC. Is it common for a bank, for example a Bulge Bracket, like JPMorgan or Bank of America or such like, to sponsor a UK citizen to come to live and work in the US for them? I don't really have family in the US, maybe some far off family members that wouldn't make a good application. Thanks! |

It does happen but it is definitely not common. |

my husband worked in IT for one of the banks you mentioned and they brought him across.

On the contrary, I used to work in the square mile and it is VERY common for this to occur. Colleagues at trading and IT posts were regularly offered placements with the firm in NYC and SFO.
Could you clarify though? What about, Experience/Education level/Contacts? |

That's what I'd assume but I was wondering if Horace's take was any different.
Or does his #7 assume an appropriate advanced education and relevant experience? |

I took the OP's question to be primarily about the possibility of being hired "off the street" by a U.S. bank. |

You are talking about transfers within a company.
I took the OP's question to be primarily about the possibility of being hired "off the street" by a U.S. bank. But, if a transfer happened, that would be great. But I don't think it happens in finance much. |
