Recruitment: Applying to Internships in Europe as an American
I'm new here, so I guess I'll introduce myself. I'm a rising sophomore at an Ivy League school studying statistics. I'm thinking of applying to IB internships in the offices of BB banks (JPM, Goldman, etc.) in Germany for Summer 2019. I speak fluent German, and I attended a public high school in Germany, but I am not a German/EU citizen (I'm American). For anyone from Germany who is wondering, I also do not have a German Abitur because I graduated from a high school in New York City. This may sound like an obvious question, but will the fact that I do not have permission to work in Germany/Europe (unless I obtain a work visa) due to the fact that I'm an American citizen put me at a disadvantage in the recruiting process?
It'll be tough. Saying this as an EU/US citizen, banks in continental Europe tend to hire almost exclusively from several target schools in their own country and ignore everyone else. And, obviously, the fact that you're not an EU citizen makes everything ten times harder.
I don't get why you even want to apply for positions in Germany in the first place. Their work culture is supposedly incredibly dull, and since you're at an Ivy, chances are you'll probably be able to land something in the US without too much hassle.
