Can someone that didn't studied in the U.S. work on WallStreet?

How common/possible is for someone who didn't studied in the United States to get a job on Wallstreet? Considering he is not American. I know there are a lot of foreigners in Wallstreet, but almost all of them studied in the U.S. right?

Like, if you went to the targets schools of lets say, Germany, Spain, the UK, Singapore, Korea, etc... you get the idea. What circumstances need to happen to get a Job on Wallstreet? Can you apply to intermships in NYC? Or dont even Wallstreet, but San Francisco, and get reviewed as an American candidate? I dont know how common is this. Finally, are internal exchanges within firms common? For example, you are a great performer in Credit Suisse in Paris, and you want to go to Wallstreet for some reason, can you make the move?

 

Typically, US firms recruit directly from the US. There are few exceptions, such as when intls have US citizenship and contacts, but this is normally quite rare. Most BBs run rotational schemes to move office (although this is usually temporary in of itself)

 

You either are a US passport holder, you do an internal transfer, or you marry an American.
