Competitions for BB in the US versus other countries

Hi there, I’m an international student from Asia studying in the US. Want to ask for your opinion on whether getting an internship or job at a BB or equally prestigious company in the US, especially the headquarter offices like NYC, will be tougher or easier in Asia and in other countries/ continents. Can I also get some general rankings of competition among different regions, i.e America, EMEA, APAC, etc, which ones are tougher or easier

 

In the US, a lot of BBs are reluctant to hire/stop all together hiring international students due to the visa situation, so your best shot are at the EBs but they are more competitive as class sizes are smaller, don't know about EMEA or APAC

 

Major financial hubs in the APAC region like HK or Singapore usually have pretty intense competition on par with if not more intense than the states. However, the additional language requirement does help weed out some potential applicants.
