<p>Hello guys,</p>
<p>I will be entering a graduate program in Fall 2011 and I am a little worried about the job prospects for international graduate students.
I will be getting a degree in financial engineering from an Ivy league school.
My goal is to go into either Risk Analysis or Derivatives Trading (ultimate goal,ya?).
These are probably going to be analyst positions as I have no experience in finance.</p>
<p>What are the odds of getting a sponsor?
The situation with me is a little different than with many international students. My mother is a permanent resident in the US and sooner or later I will get my permanent residency.
However, I might need an H1B (for 1-3 years) after my 12 month OPT expires ( I don't know if my employer will be e-verified for the 17- month extension).</p>
<p>Has anybody seen a similar situation? who can I contact for professional advice?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
