IB internships/ analyst positions in London after completing MS program in the US

I am wondering if students from the top Tier US universities are able to get interviews/jobs for IB based positions in London (Non- EU)?

I do have offers from top tier universities both in US and UK (for masters not bachelors) and my preferred location is London. Given the current conservative immigration environment in the UK, I feel its a huge gamble to move to London (You only get 3 months after graduation to get a job) unlike the US which has the OPT option. I would appreciate if you could give your input on this or provide any precedence of this. Thanks !

 
Pan European Monkey:
Technically you should do your summers before your first year of your master (assuming its a 1year program) and get your return offer post masters, for London. Doesn't matter where you study, it's very hard to recruit for FT in London without at least a summer.

My masters is 1.5-2 years long. Lets say I were able to secure a summer or off cycle internship during my degree. What are the prospects then?

 

Why not just go to a UK target if you want to end up in London? I don't think the 4 months post-graduation really matters because you will be recruiting the year prior to either SA/FT.

Is this program in the US at the MIT/Princeton level or Vanderbilt/UT/USC level?
