So many french in London. Mainly went to top business schools (HEC, ESCP, EDHEC, ESSEC, EMLyon etc.) But honestly, there is an insane number of french people working in London. Speaking french seems to be very beneficial, seeing as London is the European HQ for most banks.
Thanks! I'm new to WSO and I'm finding it very helpful... what about NYC or HK?
Yeah, if you're moving to London / scouting it out as a prospective location, you don't need to worry about a paucity of French people. A lot I know when to LSE (mostly post-grad). A bank that (weirdly) has a strong French vibe (other than Soc Gen and BNP Paribas) is HSBC: the firm acquired Crédit Commercial de France in 2000 and since then there's been a strong French presence in the London HQ. They (the French HSBC employees) are somewhat renowned for only hiring other French people - so much so that they've been called "the French mafia" by British insiders, with the bank going so far as to allegedly ban casual conversation in French on the trading floor.
