<p>I've heard that Wharton has heavy on-campus recruitment, but do these recruiters also consider international students? I'm talking about people who are in the US on a student visa and would require an H1-B work visa in order to have the right to work in the US. Do companies try to avoid internationals because of the fees & paperwork involved in sponsoring an international citizen for a work visa?</p>

<p>Not at all. I know plenty of people who went to Penn and who work in the US from nations like Brazil, South Africa, China, Korea, et al.</p>
<p>I’m sure Finland would be no exception.</p>
<p>The thing is getting your visa. It basically ends up being pure luck. I have a friend who got a job offer from goldman, but he didn’t get the visa, so goldman basically offered him relocation to brazil, mexico, or london.</p>
<p>There are many others in the same boat (no pun intended), and the companies who recruit know how hard it is to get a visa for you. Many are multi-national, and will help you find opportunities abroad.</p>
<p>can’t you just apply for a work visa when you apply for the student visa?</p>

<p>No I can’t, because I need to have an employer at the time of applying for a work visa.</p>
