Non-target to international

I have seen a lot of threads about going to work in London/Asia as far as coming from US schools, but I'm curious, how hard would it be to go from a complete non-target (U of Colorado) to, say, private banking in Switzerland? Or, really, any type of finance job? I understand I'd need top grades/fluency (in German, I think), but would they even look at any non-targets internationally?

 

Don't want to discourage you, but they have plenty of LSE-educated Germans to pick from. Also, how would they interview you? I can't be done entirely over the phone.

The idea is to study for a Master's degree in Europe (e.g. St Gallen). It would be great if you were studying physics at Boulder, as you could get into ETH Zurich or something due to its prestige.
