Chances of US Citizen Getting FT Offer in London or Europe?

So I know variations of this question have been asked before but I can't seem to find complete answers.

What are the chances of a US citizen getting a full-time banking offer in London (or in another major European city) right out of college?

I'm currently enrolled in a top target school in the US and would like to work in PWM in London (ideally at a BB firm). Is it even worth applying due to Visa restrictions? Would it be easier to get hired in continental Europe? Also would applying for an internship and not a full-time position increase my chances of getting an offer?

Any tips or info would be much appreciated.

 

There was a yank in my BB IBD SA class. He got a full time offer as well. Don't know about the specifics of his visa situation obviously, but I do know he applied to the internship whilst in attendance at a college in the States.

LOL Yank....

Such an offensive term, can we get a mod here?

You serious? Over here we use Yank as a term of endearment.
