MBA Associate - International students

Hi all,

I got admitted to an M7 business school and want to do banking in the States after my MBA. I am an international student from Asia and worked in a non-BB (think HSBC/ Nomura/ BarCap) DCM team for 3 years in Singapore and China.

I heard that it can be very challenging for international students to get a banking offer in the States even if I have relevant experiences and M7 school brand name.

Any advice on networking, interview etc? Should I start from learning American football..?

Thanks in advance!

Ken
