Have been unemployed for a few months now, have probably filled out 400+ job applications since then and have been open to many different roles. I have 4 years PWM experience, a MBA, come with my licenses, and plan to pursue the CFA. If anyone could help out at any company that would be great. It seems like hiring processes are taking long, I haven’t heard back or applications have just been declined. Mainly looking at NYC, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston and Charlotte.

I’ve seen open job postings in the Puerto Rico’s job market, it’s a US Territory so labor law is pretty similar if not more pro-employee. Pay is not as great but you have chances of getting in since we only have 3 banks on the island so it’s very niche. There’s also remote work options if you’re not looking to move obviously.

Have you seen these on linkedin? or indeed?

Both, mostly Indeed. Main banks on the island are Oriental Bank, Banco Popular and FirstBank. The biggest is Banco Popular.
