CarelessAmount7812's journey

I recently graduated with my MBA in the US and have 5 years of fund accounting experience in India, where I worked with various types of funds including mutual funds, hedge funds, and private equity funds. Despite my background and skills, I’m struggling to find opportunities in the US that align with my career goals in banking and fund-related roles. I've received some interview calls for general accounting positions, but they don't match what I want to do long-term. I understand that sponsorship can be a challenge for international candidates like myself, which might be affecting my job search. I'm open to exploring contract positions and working with staffing firms to increase my chances. If anyone has recommendations for companies or consultancies that hire international students or candidates needing sponsorship, I would greatly appreciate it. Additionally, I’m considering whether I should tailor my resume for each job application to enhance my chances of getting interviews. I’ve also noticed many openings in credit risk roles, but I lack direct experience in that area. Would it be worthwhile to apply for those positions? Any advice or shared experiences would be very helpful. Thank you!
