Legal alien... From Paris to NYC
After a SA in M&A in London I'm now interning in M&A with a leading French bank in Paris.
I've been trying to get a foot in the Wall Street scene for some time now (I'm an American with a French "target" education)... How should I go about this? Should I apply through my French bank's branches? (showing interest in the States already cost me a graduate position in the UK...) Would American BBs ever choose my profile over someone from an American target?
Thank you kindly
why would an american ever go to school in France? douche
Your best bet is probably to do an MBA in the US and apply from there. Otherwise I would aim for a position in the UK or France and try to transfer after a few years.
how are the martian boutiques? average GPA?
hardy har har.
You should try to do a "VIE" (volontariat international en entreprise) (sorry guys I don't know if there is an equivalent in english for it) at your French bank. Otherwise I agree with GoodBreak.
Unless the OP is also French or European, he won't be able to do a VIE. Furthermore, I'm not sure you would be able to get the tax break since Americans get taxed no matter what.
You're right, i haven't seen that he is American.
^^^^^ Maybe because they are very good / experience another culture / nice looking French girls?. In regard to the question, how did it costed you a graduate position? I know a french guy that started in the US in a french bank FT 2 years prior to going back to London, I dont know why wouldnt you be able to do the same given you are originally from there.
