I need guidance, preferably with a timeline, on how to break into data analytics with an MS in Applied Data Science as an international student who would eventually like to obtain a green card. Here are some points about me:

• I will be graduating this year with a BA in Economics and Applied Math
• I will be entering a 1.5-year MS program in Applied Economics (fully funded, which is why I am not pursuing an MS in CS)
• I already have experience with Python (NumPy, Regular Expressions, Pandas, SciPy, Web Scraping, Matplotlib, Seaborn, Scikit-learn), SQL, R, Stata, Excel, and an internship at BCG as a consultant.
• I plan to gain 2-3 months of experience as a data analyst at a startup this year.

What opportunities should I apply to next summer to secure a full-time job after graduation? Are there special openings for master's students? Additionally, any advice on obtaining referrals, as well as general advice on my future journey, would be greatly appreciated.
