I am very interested in working abroad when I graduate for a foreign investment bank. Does anyone know if these firms recruit in the U.S.? if not, how would one go about getting hired there (or for their New York locations)?

Why would you want to work for Nomura Securities? Do you want to work at a retail outlet in Japan?
BNP definitely does at NYU. Can't speak for the others specifically, but I know that Nomura has fairly robust US recruiting (at least by Nomura's standards). Lloyds and Nordea are doubtful.
forget about nordea. try SEB Merchant Banking, Handelsbanken Capital Markets, ABG Sundal Collier and Carnegie
^Also check out RS Platou, DNB Markets, Danske Bank and Fondsfinans. I know they all have offices in New York and some of them do not post job openings, so sending an email can get you far.
Nomura and BNP recruit for both summer and fulltime at Columbia. Lloyd's had a couple of postings but for full time only.
Can second the fact that both Nomura and BNP recruit in the US fo FT and SA
Interesting. Thanks guys. Would you guys say there is a much smaller applicant pool for these jobs than domestic BB SA and FT openings?
Nomura had been trying to aggressively build a US platform in the past 2 years, but I've heard they are scaling back a bit now.
BNP has always hired less in the US, especially for their IBD division, which I believe in much smaller than their S&T side.
You're too kind. Nomura has tried to build a US, and global, platform since the 90's. Emphasis on tried.
What about PE firms like Nordic Captial, AlpInvest, and Onex? Anyone know anything about these?
Confused. There is a vast difference between those PE firms and the securities houses you mentioned. What do you want to do / achieve?
It was more of a general question on how large foreign banks recruit in the US because I want to work for one after graduationg. I was just curious about how PE firms do that as well.
I would have guessed that Nomura is gaining some ground because of senior Lehman folks.
You have to pay to retain talent. The majority of those seniors have gone after lock-ups expired and bonuses distrbuted, along with the junior hires as well.
To give you an idea, an IBD analyst coming from Lehman was making 2.5-3x that of the Nomura counterpart in 2008-9.
And it depends on how you define "gaining ground". Nomura has dreamed of being a big player for years but always lacked the conviction to see it through.
I agree. I think they really expected Glenn Schiffman to revamp their US division (in terms of culture and talent), but he jumped ship and Nomura sort of threw their hands in the air at that point.
