I can't decide for you. It is also a lifestyle choice because you are looking at 2 different cities. The visa can be an issue so if you can find a company which is willing to sponsor you and you want to work in the States, I'd give this option more consideration It depends on where you want to work and which team you enjoy working with the most.

I have kind of two job offers, first one is a boutique M&A in the NE USA(not NYC), it's a 20people boutique specialised in cross-border M&A and corporate finance so they need people fluent in Spanish/Portuguese, they are offering 50k base and 25% bonus, 25% travel to Latam but no more than 80hr week, 70hr being average. The other job offer(almost sure) is a MM 10people PE boutique in Sao Paulo(not prestigious, barely known), less money by US standards but pretty good by brasilian. My plan is to work 3 years and then I wanna go to Harvard/Stanford/Columbia/Chicago, after that I would love to do VC, first in the States but the end goal is to start my own VC in Brasil. Brasilians love people with american experience so that's a pro for the first option but I don't like that much the american way of life and I like Brasil(models, bottles, family and friends), on the other hand I don't want to miss a great opportunity like working in the States even though I know that I'm going to be a little unhappy and it's a big commitment because they are sponsoring my visa and everything. So, what do you think? Hey Brian/Nicole, I have a big dilemma and I would love some advice:
