London recruiters generally prioritize the HSG brand over the specific program (MACFin or MBF). Both programs are highly regarded, and the distinction between them is not typically a deciding factor for placements in London IB roles. The HSG name carries significant weight in the industry, especially for roles in London.
Regarding visa sponsorship, many London BBs (Bulge Brackets) and EBs (Elite Boutiques) are known to sponsor work visas for HSG graduates. However, this can vary depending on the bank and the specific hiring needs. It's advisable to research individual firms and their sponsorship policies, as some MMs (Middle Market firms) may be less likely to sponsor compared to BBs and EBs.
For non-German speakers from HSG seeking Zurich IB internships, it is possible to secure roles, especially at international firms or boutiques where English is the primary working language. Some firms in Zurich do not require German proficiency, particularly for internships, but having German language skills can certainly be an advantage for networking and long-term career prospects in the region.
