Possible, yes, but Frankfurt is still a much worse place to do IB than London for all the reasons listed here. So I don’t recommend it if you have the option of starting your career in London instead.

I am soon to start a MSc Finance program at WHU in Germany. I am from Dubai, (Indian national) I have worked in finance and in deals intern positions. Would it be possible to break in to IB M&A in Frankfurt, given I learn the language fairly well?

London would be easier than NY, but you are still better off starting in a major financial center for a host of reasons (easier/less technical interviews, more jobs, higher turnover so more openings, higher deal flow and compensation, etc.). With NY, you are more likely to run into visa issues (some banks will sponsor you, but it’s added work for them, so you need a good reason why you should be there rather than a US citizen or someone else who can already work in the country).

How easy would it be to start a career in Germany and then move to London/NY?

If you learn German and speak/read/write fluently, you probably have a better chance in Germany just because there are so many work visa issues in the US. London is probably easier than NY as well and about the same as Germany (more competition, but also more spots).

Unless you speak German fluently, no, probably not. You pretty much have to know the language and be from the country for a good shot at working there.

Im moving to Germany for MBA program, and hope to do the same as Konstantin but I would be ok moving to US team or a team as Mexico. Do you have anything on IB/PE in Mexico?
