Moving to the UK from APAC
Recently, my family moved to the UK but I still live in the APAC region where I am in my final year of university. I want to move to the UK ASAP to be closer to my family so I wanted to ask what the best and quickest way would be.
I have completed an internship at a top 3 BB (GS/MS/JPM) in APAC and hold a full-time offer for 2021 for the same location.
Would I have any success simply applying online for 2021 FT roles for other BB's and EB's? Or is the only option to transfer internally after a few years? I am trying to network but not having any success.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Either transfer internally after a year but you can apply for FT/lateral jobs to EBs and BBs in London to move earlier.
Do you think I have a shot for FT roles, especially for one of the other top 3 BBs?
Also, would it be worth doing a trip to London hoping that I get more responses? Reading other threads, there seems to be mixed results for networking in London.
Shot at other 3 BBs is tough to say. This year MS/JPM didn’t hire straight to FT. So it only left GS on the table... So it will really depend on the environment when you are trying to recruit.
Networking is not really useful here, so unless you go visit your family, I fon’t think making a trip JUST to network is worth it.
That is really helpful - thank you so much!
