What does it take for an international student currently in her MBA program with a concentration in finance/data driven decision making ,find job opportunities across when in reality the market blocks all hopes ?

First, it's important to understand what the job market looks like for your specific field. If you're looking for jobs in finance or data-driven decision making, you'll likely have better luck in cities like New York or San Francisco. However, it's still important to cast a wide net and explore all of your options.
It is a hard one now. But don't give up. Keep applying and networking. Use your career department at your university and talk to your professors.
Networking is key when looking for job opportunities. Talk to your classmates, professors, and anyone else you know in the industry. LinkedIn is also a great resource for finding job openings and networking with potential employers.
It is rough for international students due to most companies don't want to sponsor, I see this posted all the time on the Wells job openings
Is diversity inclusion really practiced then?
🤷
I think the only thing that will give you a leg-up in this economy, besides your resume, is connections. So work on networking as much as possible!
Thank you for all advise
I agree with everyon above. Networking is key to finding something. Hang in there, you will find something. You just have to keep applying and keep interviewing. It always takes some time to find something.
You have to find roles that are willing to take international students. Period. JPMC job descriptions will explicitly say whether or not that role will take students on OPT/CPT. But unfortunately, you can’t network your way around that qualification.
