Singapore Management University As An International Student
Hi, I am an international student planning to study undergraduate in SMU but I still have some questions. First of all, can I land a job in IB or consulting in Singapore after graduating from SMU as an international. Also how recognized is SMU globally? I know it is impossible to work in wall street without attending a prestigious US uni but working in London or Dubai would also be pretty good. Thank you for your help :)

Smu (and ntu and nus) students place fairly well in the singapore and hk markets for roles across ibd, s&t etc. Its uncommon for graduates in these schools to place outside of em asia straight out of school. There are many who moved to ldn/ny via an internal transfer and even more (nus, ntu and smu graduates) in the past who attended the usual top US mba programs. However most of the folks who place well are singaporeans or permanent residents.
Your biggest obstacle when looking for a position in singapore after studying is that youre an international ie non singaporean non PR , which puts you way behind locals come employment time.
"International " - it really depends on which country youre from. Under the new compass employment framework in Singapore, your country absolutely matters. If youre from a country which is over-represented among the foreigner population in a company - for example if you are from the subcontinent- it makes it so much harder. However if youre able to have a special skill , if your parents are able to bring business to the investment bank/private bank, those kind of things really help tip the scale in your favour.
what about someone from south asia? do they come in the over-represented foreign population?
I'm pretty sure you already know the answer so I'm gonna leave you hanging.
damn
