Recruiting for London from US Target SA 2025
Currently recruiting for US SA 2025 but honestly think my odds of landing something good are low. I go to an Ivy (not HYP), have a 3.8 and a decent resume. But I have done no networking and don’t know any technicals. Going to try to cram but doubt I will be successful since even the people at my own uni are better prepared.
I am also a UK and US dual national and family still lives in the UK so I was thinking about shooting for London as well since I would have more time to prep. However uncertain about how to navigate networking. My school has basically no analyst/associates in London, only Directors and MD’s so there’s not many people to reach out to. Should I just email random people? If so I imagine that my response rate would be very low. Is networking for London going to make a difference? How easy is it to get a full time offer in the US if you interned in London?
Also curious about whether people think I have a better shot in London or the USA
the recruitment process in London is different to US. Read this

Currently going the other way but London is zero networking and all assessments + other tests which eventually lead to a 1st round then Assessment Centre(Superday).
Complete crapshoot and best way in is through Spring Weeks (Barclays opened today) but everywhere else is already full.
Currently better deal volume and more action in New York.
Much easier to do two years in New York and go to London than the other way around.
Agreed that New York would be way better for my career but having 0 knowledge about finance I struggle to see how I’m going to learn technicals in such a short space of time and network. This is on me but I feel like I’ve missed the boat for NY.
