Worth applying in England?
Hi all,
Currently an undergrad with IB experience and a dual Canadian-UK citizenship, at a pretty good school in Canada. Is it worth applying for Spring/Summer IB/S&T internships in the UK? Would they even consider someone not from one of UK/Ivy League/Top Euro school? Would appreciate any input on if it's worth pursuing.
No harm in applying but I haven't even seen an ivy-league kid in any SA so far across a few BBs and EBs. Think London tends to recruit from London and continental Europe.
even less from continental Europe nowadays with Brexit, some banks have a strict uk only policy. FYI, someone from Berkeley was a JPM (or MS?) SA a few years back
idk what berkeley is but good for them.
Due to the strict UK-only policy, how difficult is it to lateral from a continental Europe bank to one of the BBs/EBs in London nowadays? How difficult is it with Brexit? Would really appreciate the answer!
The only non-European schools I’ve seen among UK-based interns/analysts (who haven’t lateraled) are a few of HYPSMW. I do know of a few people from top 50 US universities and one person from a Nigerian university, but there was nepotism involved in these cases.
You’d be better off doing a UK MSc, although probably no harm in applying.
I met someone who successfully recruited for a BB in London from an American school. That person did not have British citizenship; however, they did have a connection with the head of the entire division.
Not sure if this applies to BB/EB too as I work in RE; but I know quite a few Canadians working in London. Some did their SA in NYC and couldn't get a US visa so ended up being relocated to the London office; others just wanted to be in London from the get-go and did their SA here.
