IB prospects in London after Msc from ESSEC?

Hey everyone! I'm applying to ESSEC for their Msc. Finance program and I was wondering how the IB recruitment after studying at ESSEC is? (after brexit) (I'm not a EU citizen)

Rules of the game at the SA/analyst level:

  • Only people with U.S. citizenship or work visa get to break into IB in the USA
  • Only people with U.S. citizenship or citizenship of an European country get to break into IB in London

In nearly all cases, banks prefer to hire locals because there's no point in sponsoring someone when they can find people with the same skills and experience in their own country.

 

I assume he is referring to the ending of free movement between the EU and Britain. This means that EU and non-EU both need to be sponsored which levels the playing field for the non-EU students.
