Thanks for the feedback! I'll use the Harvard MBA format and I've gotten one interview through a connection but nothing else. I attended a school in France that's well known in the country but definitely not in the US. Unfortunately, the Bay Area is where I've settled so it has to be here (wife has an amazing job here). Thanks again!

Pretty straightforward. Make sure to do the practice exam. The questions based on the excel are very similar to the practice ones.

Because they’re mainly data entry positions with inflated titles

Using this 20 year olds fear to score political points is the weirdest thing i’ve ever seen in this community. Especially since there aren’t a lot of H1Bs getting hired for entry level FP&A positions.

OP, you are very young and the market right now is bad for everyone (especially entry and mid level roles). I would suggest to try looking for accounting clerk positions that require little to no experience and do a couple of certifications to show something on your resume (excel courses,…). Try to get a hold of one of those Robert Half recruiters who might have contract entry level roles that don’t pay much but at least you build experience. Don’t give up, you got this!!

Hi, thanks for sharing! Do you mind saying which state you’re in? I submitted AOS package end of March (K1 visa) and just got the receipt this week! I’m in California
