+1 I would guess that it is advantegous. Im also native in Norwegian and conversational in Swedish. You will probably be placed in a nordics coverage team where most people will speak a scandinavian language. tl200
+1 If you're Spanish go to ICADE. RSM is not enough of a target in London that you go there vs staying in your own country. If it was St gallen or bocconi then it's a different topic  Prospect in Acct - Other
