Any international students in the US who got offers from a BB/EB/MBB?
I'm a freshman at a NESCAC school, and I'd appreciate if international students that got offers from the finance/consulting industry could tell me about their process of attaining an internship or an eventual return offer.
Let me quote what my HR rep said, these are EXACT WORDS: "For international students you should be fine with any coloured skin OTHER THAN: white, white and have been sanctioned, skin tone warm with yellow undertones and black hair, brown but the kind with an asian third world country passport, we want LATAM tho so keep them in, gingers aren't common with are clients so I'll cross them off too, no pimples or freckles... Summary just no Asians and Whites are what we are looking for. We want people who are ethnically ambiguous and female. For local students, Black, Hispanic, first gen, mixture of more non-targets than targets, again female ethnic ambigious. Also, no one with crappy hard to understand accents, visible disabilities are ok but not too much same for LGBTQ+."
As someone who is on that "shit tier" list, I felt crap afterwards... But I did it in the end, network, network, network, for referrals, and honestly just don't give up if this is what you want. When you network really try to understand our industry. All you really need is someone to at least push you through to the first round, after that its up to you to stand on your two feet. The way recruiters filter CVs and apps are honestly worthy of civil litigation, "black name? ok. White name? no. Detroit? yes. NYC but long name? ok. Gay? meh, hopefully not too much, International student? too much paper work". Forget all of that and focus on what you can control. Prepare using guides, practice with friends/teachers (don't get career buddies, IMO it always gets bitter). Unfortunately this is the reality that for diversity plays an increasing role over hard work. And yes the next time that MF is saying it, I bet there will be someone to record it and leak it to the press, as for now I dump paper work on 'em.
Just wrapped up junior recruiting, landed 4 offers and am going to an EB. Definitely a steep uphill challenge but doable — DM if you wanna talk OP, happy to help where I can!
edit: non diversity, west coast target, recruited for west coast
Sent you a message. Thank you!
You go to a NESCAC you will be fine, especially A/W. A already has 2 EVR, LAZ, MOE, BX, UBS for SA 2023. Believe some of those are international students, too.
