This depends on which school you go to and your GPA. As a US citizen it is much easier for you to break into MBB in the US and you will be considered if you meet the usual criteria for the applicants they look it. Ideally you should be networking with folks in the US office as most recruiting happens from campuses where MBB go in person to recruit candidates for specific offices.

You also will have a better shot at getting into some of the less popular offices (e.g., Minneapolis) vs the more popular ones (e.g., San Francisco) given their much larger talent pool to select from.

As other coaches suggest, there is a direct way, which requires a bit of work.

An indirect way would be for you to start in Canada, where you already have offers, and somewhere down the line initiate a transfer to the US.

The upside would be all the time you save now in terms of not having to jump through all those hoops. Downside would be having to live in Canada for ~2 years before you can make a reasonable case to move (just to be clear - living in Canada sounds great to me and is obviously a specific downside for you, if that's not what you want).

If you have a good CV and network well, this shouldn't be a problem for you. As there are no visa hurdles, it will certainly make things easier for you.

Since you have no employment restrictions, it will be as hard for you as for any US resident. You'll just have to network a bit more because (I guess) you're not coming from a local target school. So yes, you can give it a shot.

Network, especially with alumni of your school working at your target firms. Shouldn’t be too hard you!

Hi there,

If you have a US citizenship there shouldn't be any issues here. Of course, you're not from a target school so to say, but you can work around this with networking. Your other option is to spend a couple of years in Canada and then switch over. This also shouldn't be hard given your citizenship.

Hello!

I don´t see any problem at all, if you don´t have visa issues, like it´s your case. 

If you have offers in Canada, you can also start there and quickly transfer. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers, 

Clara
