Which city welcome immigrant as Investment banker the most??

Any city would accept the most non-local ppl as investment banker? Like US, UK may accept the non-local who studied in there and stay. How’s the successful rate and any experience share? Any specific department will be easier? Fee free to discuss

 

Hard question. I think the major cities are generally accepting of immigrants. If I had to pick the most accepting, it would be NYC first. I see and work with so many international people in NYC. There are probably many other cities that have diversity too, like cities in California, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta. If you live in any of the major cities of the US, you can't go wrong.

 

Agree that all of the major cities in the US are very accepting of internationals. The main obstacle for internationals is getting an IB job that sponsors visas.

This guy’s right. But, in the nicest way possible OP, you’ll probably need to improve your English more, if your post has anything to go by. If you were going for a SWE or Quant role which is less presentation-based it might be fine, but if you’re aiming for a role which is all about presentation at the end of the day, you may struggle to get offers.

 

I'd guess London is probably the best if you went to university in the U.K.

From what I understand, it is significantly easier to get a Work Visa if you previously held a Student Visa and the British government is making it progressively more easy, i.e. if you graduate in 2021, you'll be given a two year temporary work visa. The only thing is you've got to earn above a certain amount of money to be offered a work visa (its 33k I believe), so most finance jobs are well above that.

The U.S. Visa system is more of a lottery if I understand correctly.

 

Whenever I apply for the job in UK, there’s a question ask ‘Do u need visa sponsor?’ If I say no need, Do u mean that I could apply for the visa by my self? As I found that there are a list of qualified sponsor contain thousands of company. If I choose not to ask for their sponsorship, I can pay by myself instead? Or necessarily the qualified sponsor sponsor me and act as a guarantor? Thanks mate!!

 

No, you can't apply or pay for your own visa like that. Only certain companies are permitted by the government to provide work visas. That being said, holiday internships don't require a work visa if you've got a student visa, and for a lot of firms, needing a work visa after graduation (but not needed for the internship) is very normal and fine.
