School grades- no job IB

A grade C in Sweden at university is difficult to recive, however in the US a grade C is considered as bad. Are the recruiters at Investment Banking aware of the situation?

Let me put it in other words: Sweden, one subject: 7,5 credit, class only 3,5 weeks, after 3,5 weeks a 4-5 hour exam, 0-100 points where 50 is E, grade system A,B,C,D,E,FX,F. Seminars, 2-3 500 pages books (each) home assignments and non-relevant assignments that needs to be done.

US, one subject: weekly small kind of copy paste assignments from google, grade system A+-,B+- etc, more than 3,5 weeks, less credit, less hour of exam but easier (MUCH EASIER), no seminars, no non-relevant assignments that are mandatory.

Are the recruiters at Investment Banking aware of the situation? The situation where Scandinavian people have higher standard of education BUT it is more difficult to receive a higher grade than than US
