[FT Recruiting 2020] Updates on banks that still sponsor H1B for international undergrads?
Looking to get an update on a list of banks that are still sponsoring Visas for Undergrad Internationals for FT 2020 recruiting. Below is a list of firms that were reported/mentioned to still sponsor. Appreciate any insight, update or add-in.
JPM Boaml GS Barclays NYC MS Citi NYC Credit Suisse DB Houlihan Lokey Jefferies Nomura Lazard Evercore RBC Moelis Cowen PJT William Blair SMB Capital Stifel Nicolas & Company
PWP? BMO? BNP Paribas? HSBC?
You could probably take half of these off the lists, and most are you need to be the best candidate, not just good enough. JPM stopped sponsoring this year, also Barclays doesnt sponsor.
JPM didn't sponsor 2018-19
I have multiple international friends going there for SA 19 (From target schools though - NYU & Wharton). They're going through group placement now and I really doubt they're lying...
I've circled back with some of my friends and wanted to give a confirmed list where I know for a fact that there is an international student going for SA 19. ALSO remember that many banks cut back on TN visas, but not necessarily H1-B.
Banks I personally know international students are going for SA 19 ->
The reason why I'm stressing these points is because I really don't want international students to neglect networking with certain banks because "they don't sponsor". Network with every single EB/BB and kill your interviews. Let the banks tell you whether they will sponsor. The only two banks that really really really don't sponsor out of the big ones are Wells Fargo and UBS so ignore those two.
Now I'm pretty sure that banks have different policies for different schools.
JPM doesn't sponsor. Had a college colleague get through to the superday only for HR to find out she was international and rescind the offer.
Curious though on banks such as Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, RBC, etc.. who are primarily known for being more international rather than U.S. heavy. Maybe just a thought but wouldn't they be a little more lenient with their Visa?
Stop with the BS, JPM does sponsor. Colleague probably didn't get an offer and is lying to you.
Okay, so from what I've read. This is the current situation (Correct me if I am wrong):
