Anyone know if Barclays sponsors CPT/OPT visas for international students this cycle? I tried looking every relevant forums on WSO but nothing explicit pops up. Can someone please advice if I would be eligible to intern at Barc within IB as an international student needing future work authorization...

Anyone has insights if Kroll hires internationals in the IB roles?

Basically I’m doing a masters in finance at a school traditionally viewed as a Lower rank target school. I am international and so I’m moving to the US with the hope of landing in IB. Been networking like crazy and all alumni are so nice and supportive and willing to help but I’m so worried...

Anyone know what BBs in France have a history of sponsoring the passeport talent for non-EU citizens? Have multiple internship offers (Paris) from BBs/EBs and I know the obvious answer is ask them individually, but I don't necessarily want them to potentially rescind my internship offer if they...

Hey guys, Sorry for the long paragraph TL:DR at end. I recently had a Sophomore Summer Corp Banking interview with a big Nordic bank. I entered the process laterally- I cold emailed somebody who never replied but put me on some sort of list. The HR reached out asking me to answer some standard...

I'm starting this discussion based on jackd2’s post for 2024 SA - Visa Sponsorship - United States. I wanted to create a thread where people who need visa sponsorship can share information on 2025 SA recruiting. In this post, I am adding a list of companies that I know are willing or unwilling to...

Hi Guys, I would like to know which investment banks sponsor work visa to work in London/Singapore. I'm currently working with one of the global investment bank in India focusing on origination, advisory, execution of public/private placements in primary markets & providing financing solutions...

Does anyone know how EBs sponsor 24SA? Heard that EVR, Lazard, Moelis, and Rothschild will sponsor. Not sure about PWP, PJT, CVP and other firms

I've been a high performer at my fund and during my performance review the Partners told me that they would like to sponsor business school for me. I struck out this year (730 GMAT, no name LMM fund, straight white Christian male, what do you do) but I am planning on applying again next year. We...

Hello All, I'm currently working middle office at a MM and was looking into making the change over to ER. I was not sure what I wanted to do out of college so I took the first job offered and have been with it for about 6 months now. With this role, I was sponsored to take the SIE and Series 99...

Hi all, Like most people in this forum, I would like to work at one of the big companies on Wall Street. We all heard and know how demanding and competitive the job is (pretty much any job in finance) on the street: lots of stress and MANY hours. As an international in the U.S, I understand that the...

Hey guys, just want to clarify this confusion I've had for so long. So I'm an international student on F-1 visa, and most banks states that they "do not sponsor work authorization for this position" (internship). The point is that while I'm on CPT, there's no need for sponsorship (until I finish...

I'm currently recruiting for UBS Global Banking and Markets and heard about things like they are very reluctant/difficult in sponsoring OPT and H1B. Is this true? I'm interviewing for 2023 SA and not sure if they can sponsor by the time I graduate and start full-time. Thanks a lot!

Curious if any banks have changed their H1B policy recently, especially with overall sponsorship declining in the past few years. For example, I've heard Qatalyst no longer sponsors international students

Just wanted to start this chain early to help out my Class of 2024 international friends! I know that sponsorship status varies year by year so wanted to share/get the most updated information about all BBs/EBs/MMs/buyside. GS/MS/JPM/UBS/BofA/CS/DB/Citi/Barclays...

Hey guys, After much work, sweat and tears I finally landed a graduate position in a BB! However, I'm now faced with another kind of a struggle. The position I was offered was in Zurich and I have heard that it was extremely hard for a non-EU national to be sponsored for a work permit/visa. I was...

Hi guys, after brexit I know some things have changed. I am from Italy and, when compiling my applications, I am asked wether I'll need a sponshorship or not to work in London. What shoud I answer?

Hey monkeys, I am a student-athlete, rising senior, and will join a top BB next summer. I have been recently offered some brand sponsorships and wanted to get your opinion. I am just getting free swag and I have to post stuff on my social media. I am not in football/basket and I am not getting any...

Hi Guys, I would like to ask, does the need for Visa Sponsorship in the UK put me into disadvantage when applying to investment banks in London for Summer Internship? I currently have Student Visa that allows me to work without sponsorship. I am not planning to lie on my application when the...

I am an international at a semi-target. A professor who helps with IB recruiting here said I will be better off considering either: - Masters in Finance right out of college to get a 3 year OPT extension - Try to recruit for foreign offices (London, HK) which may be more lenient with visas Which way...

Hi All, I'm currently an analyst at a EB (EVR / CVP / PJT) and business school has always been something I've wanted to do for various reasons, one of which is the optionality it provides for going abroad (originally from Asia). I know from personal sources that CVP sponsors MBAs, although I'm not...

Hello everyone, Recruiting season for summer internships has already started and I'm having enormous trouble to find out which banks in the UK sponsor Non-EU summer interns. Most of them say something like that: "To participate in an internship or pre-internship program, you must have the legal...

Hi guys, I'm an analyst at a boutique consulting firm based in Brazil. My firm has a program of MBA sponsorship and we have a bunch of alumni from top notch business schools like MIT, Columbia and Chicago Booth. Although we have a great compensation package to post-MBA associates, I want to pursue a...

Let's say you're attending an elite MBA program, with around $150k of tuition costs sponsored by a tier 2 consulting firm (think Deloitte, OY, S&, ATK). Would MBB consider offering a loaded sign-on bonus (covering 50%+ of tuition) to entice such a candidate? Curious to hear if this is a regular...

Hello all, I work as a stockbroker for a small brokerage firm. My firm helped me get Series 7 and 63. Although my boss doesn't need me to get any additional licenses at this point, I thirst for more knowledge. I want to take Series 3, 65, and 67 to add more qualifications to my resume (and perhaps...

Hi all, Does anyone have an experience that the company doesn't dissuade international applicants to apply in the job description (and they also have records of sponsorship in the past) and then u got dinged when they invited you to first round interview and asked you to confirm that you won't need...

Fellow Monkeys, Longtime user and fan of the WSO community looking for a little help here. I am hoping some of you can provide guidance on pitching and valuing/quantifying the benefits of a partnership to a corporate sponsor.

For many of us international students here in the U.S., the most dreaded time of our professional career arrives as we are about to graduate with an undergraduate degree, more specifically in finding a company what is willing to offer us H-1B sponsorship; also known as the “Person in Specialty...

We have discussed at great lengths the various exit ops that exist for a Pre-MBA consultant, but not too many discussions hover around how your marketability goes either with or without the MBA sponsorship. The overwhelming majority of BA/A/ACs leave after their first 2 years for PE...

Hey guys - first time, long time here. I’ve searched the forums, but I haven’t seen a good discussion around how to evaluate the MBA sponsorship decision. My particular situation -- from MBB , heading to H/S. No family money or anything like that, I’m paying my own way and still working off my...
