Best way to break into IB in the U.S. as an international?
Hi all, I am a 21 year old student from Belgium trying to break into IB. I have a Bcs & Mcs in Economics from KU Leuven (Belgium, T75 WW) and I am currently studying for an extra semester at the Universtiy of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (Econ & Finance combination). My dream is to get a job in IB in NYC, but I have yet to find an international to do so on LinkedIn. Does anyone know what the best path is to choose to get an IB offer in NYC as an international? I have seen a lot of internationals get a MSF at a U.S. school (mainly MIT, Columbia, Princeton) and land jobs in the US, but all I've seen so far are quant oriented. I am applying to US and EU business schools for an MSF upcoming semester (Summer '26 enrollment). Any help is greatly appreaciated!
Sound advice, I'll increase my tinder range
Yeah dude you ain't getting a role in the US. Would take some time to explain the dynamics wrt to visa and stuff but bottom line is you're cooked
