Hiring opp for an international student
Hi, can you tell me what's the situation with international students? Is it harder to get hired? How about boutiques? West coast/east coast?

Generally it is harder, since your company needs to sponsor your visa. You have more chance with big firms than boutiques because of this reason. I was generally looking for jobs on the east coast, so I am talking mainly about that. But it's not impossible. I have had intnl friends who found jobs in SF and NYC in IBD before. But you should keep in mind that since you are intnl, you have to be better than U.S. residents for you to be hired. Things are getting better now but during the crisis it was impossible for foreigners to find jobs in U.S. I think if your ultimate aim is to be at NYC and you are an EU resident, it makes more sense to try to get a job in London (although recruiting is going to be harder), and then transfer to NYC. Again, both ways are possible though, just harder.
Would this apply the same for an intl student coming from Asian backgrounds i.e. first get a job in HK, Japan, etc then try to transfer to NYC?
The biggest issue with transferring to NYC and London is the visa policy in US and UK. Both are very unfriendly to internationals to be frank, especially the H1B...
Assuming you are a US citizen, you'll have a better shot, but will still be a very challenging process.
It's not easy, but if you have a good resume and a solid understanding of finance, you can definitely get hired. I work at a BB, and we recently hired some international students for SA.
Just keep building your resume and networking.
Thank's.
