What is the recruiting like at top European business schools (HEC/INSEAD/ESSEC/EDHEC/LBS) for U.S. offices of consulting firms?
I speak French fluently and would love to live in France or Switzerland again, but I'm not an EU citizen and don't want to deal with Visa issues.






I've never met anyone who
I've never met anyone who went directly from one of these schools to a US office. Not to say it can't be done, but I just don't know how much recruiting talks across continents - I know there's some regional cooperation, but not as much as I expected.

The only person I ever met
The only person I ever met who was a direct hire from Insead in the US worked in a support function at a "top two" consulting firm. No folks from those schools are not recruited into the US offices in general, although the French offices for both McK and BCG hire from them. I am not sure how much the German offices do.

I just looked it up, its INSEAD, HBS, Stanford, and Kellogg. Point is, I cant speak for the other ones you listed, but because of this, I'd say the answer for INSEAD at least is yes
GBS
