Not going to repeat the lists of equity HFs in London that have been posted on this forum many times before.

As far as hiring from outside the UK: depends massively on if you have the right to work in the UK. Lots of HFs, by nature of being small / entrepeneurial businesses, are not going to be as willing as a large IB to do visa sponsorship. The talent pool in London isn't small - why would they bother?

 

This is helpful/comforting.

I'm getting A2A soon at my current firm. One main difference between HK/China and UK/US is, most IB activities in HK/China are IPOs, versus M&A and advisory work in more advanced financial markets. While I do have two on-going M&A mandates, they are not very informative in terms of actual M&A transaction experience (neither is gonna close IMHO)
