it is difficult for an IMG to get a position in transitional year.

i have heard that from a friend who is a resident now.

Depends on programs,
As I know, some small community programs still looking for residents to fill their transitional year spots. It is less competetive when you try to find a PGY2 position later, but you get a paid job (same pay as catagorical resident) and USCE and LORs from US doctors. You will have better stand for another year of PGY1 in decent programs instead of wasting one year.
