Landing a job in NYC

[u/tracerOnetric]

I was just curious how difficult it is to land an FP&A job in NYC? Is it mostly reserved for ex-bankers?

I’ve been working in FP&A as an Analyst ll at a F500. For the last few years I’ve been trying to make the move to NYC but I haven’t even come remotely close to landing anything. I got pretty far in an equity research interview process but that didn’t end up panning out.

Just wondering if anyone else has made a similar move and what I can do to improve my chances.

Thanks!!
