No, I don’t, sorry. We have covered other European countries before but not Switzerland. I will see if we can do so in the future.

Yes, visas will be an issue in that case. I don’t know the specifics of the process in London, but in general, you’re at a disadvantage if you don’t have a European passport. Not necessarily a huge one because most of the large banks in the UK still do sponsor non-EU students, but some of the elite boutiques do not.

I am from southeast asia(India) and I wan to to break into Investment Banking in London, I have an offer from Bocconi University for Eco & Fin, and I have seen that Bocconi places well in London. However since I am a non European I have heard getting a work visa is a big issue and banks only hire Italians from Bocconi or other europeans since they don’t need visa sponsorship. Your input is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Get a finance internship, ideally one at a small PE or VC firm or brokerage or something like that. A valuation internship could also help. It just depends on what’s available and easiest to get.

I have completed my graduation from Economics. Now, I am planning for MSC in Finance in Europe. I wanna break into investment banking as well. Before starting my masters, I have still 1 year in my hand. So, I am quite in a fix of doing either another masters or moving into an finance internship in my country.

What will be helpful for me as I wanna be an finance professional specially an investment banker???
And what about the valuation an internship in a renowned financial institution in my country for achieving a financial career in Europe or North America???

I don’t think it’s that common in Frankfurt. See: https://mergersandinquisitions.com/investment-banking-germany/

They tend to recruit a lot of business/finance students… if you have no prior IB internships, you probably have a better chance in London, even post-Brexit.

What is the best way to break into an analyst role in BB IB in Frankfurt, directly from a consultant position in Big 4 TAS with no prior IB internship experience? Also, is this path to BB IB recruiting common in Frankfurt?

Unless you have an extremely good reason to be in another country (native-level language skills, family, other roots/connections, etc.), it will almost always be easier to win IB roles in the U.S. I would not bother applying elsewhere unless you have a great reason to do so or nothing else works out.

Curious because recruitment starts relatively soon, so I just want to know if I would be wasting my time applying for international positions.
