LSE?

I have a slightly different situation, would love some guidance. I was born in India, raised in a NYC suburb, and I'm applying to go to LSE (in London) to study economics. I really want to go and study there because the institution is just fascinating to me, but ultimately, I want to live and work in the US. If I studied at LSE, could I still get into NYC IB? I have work authorization (I don't need sponsorship) in the US if that's relevant.

Your chances of doing LSE -> NYC are slim to none because of how recruiting works in the US. That said, LSE is a target for London so you could do LSE -> London IB for 2-3 years and then transfer to the New York office
