Internationals vs domestic students in recruiting

I am a international student at a target. Just curious as to how much better do internationals have to be compared to domestic students go get recruited. Like is it usually like 10% (basically not important) or like 50%. Of course I understand that it’s hard to compare, but generally in terms of gpa what do you guys think. Also, please explain how this Varys across different sectors like BB and consulting and PE. Just curious. Thanks

I’m an int’l student at a non target non diverse and yadiyada and I’d say profile wise I’m not that different from domestic students(3.5+gpa, regular on campus activities with somewhat of leadership experience, unpaid finance internships). I was able to recruit successfully at some bulge brackets and middle market IB firms. But for firms that specifically state not giving out visa sponsorship, you are infinitely in a worse spot
