Calling all Internationals!

by bankinggg (Chimp, 0 Banana Points Points) on 10/3/08 at 3:52pm

So recruiting season has begun in my school (I attend a target) and it seems that most, if not all the banking internships available are only restricted to US citizens/residents.

It appears as though the only options for any international is to work for big players who explicitly state that they sponsor internationals.

This is quite disappointing for many reasons...

I'd like to hear the viewpoints of the internationals on here who have navigated the process. Are there any who work in boutiques? Should I still send them my Resume/CL?

How can I broaden my scope, apart from the BB? I don't want to work for the satellite offices as I've already done so, and would prefer to gain working experience here. Thanks guys!

VIE eligible?

I'm not sure about the specific details (or any, really) but Soc Gen has a lot of positions through the VIE program with UbiFrance. It's for candidates under 28 from the member states of the European Economic Space. Don't know any specifics about the program, but they seem to have a lot of positions...
