<p>ok, lest say you have a MBA degree from a top 15 ranked USA B-school, what will be your prospect of Ibanking jobs outside of USA, such as London, Toronto or Hongkong?</p>
<p>will there be any foreign Ibanks/USA Ibanks' forein divisions, hire people in USA B-schools (bachelor & MBA)?</p>
<p>All of the large investement banks are fully international and have offices all over the world. That means you can interview in the U.S. for a position overseas, something that seems to be very common for international students in the U.S.</p>
<p>oh, and another specific question: do the big banks hold international divisions separately from domestic(US local) division?</p>

<p>Short answer? Do MBA degrees from the "elite" US B-schools (e.g. HBS, Wharton, Stanford, MIT, Columbia, etc.) get credit overseas? Of course.</p>
<p>You will, however, see solid competition from the "elite" international MBA grads (e.g. INSEAD, IMD etc.) particularly when you are competing for a spot on their "home turf" - i.e. London, Frankfurt, Paris, etc. - also bear in mind that many of the international MBA grads will have an inherent cultural / language ability advantages as well, depending on the particular office / region in question.</p>
<p>As for "local" hiring practices - depends on the firm, depends on the office, depends on the department, depends on "overhead"... basically, you get the idea, it "depends" on the situation...</p>
<p>What about places outside of Europe? i.e. Tokyo, Hong Kong, etc. I would think that since fewer people study the language/culture, it would be less competitive (for US applicants) to get a posting there. Is this correct?</p>
<p>what if language is not a problem? since I speak both chinese and french. Will the fact that most alumni from US B schools being in US be a disadvantage for us? cuz consequently we dont have as much alumni connection outside of USA</p>
<p>they hire americans to work in their asian offices, don't worry about it. right now you need to worry about getting into college, making the grades, etc.</p>
<p>also, if you do want to work in a foreign country, especially china or japan, extreme fluency is very important. In China if you're not extremely fluent it's going to create problems with you being able to work on deals. This is less important if you'relooking for trading.</p>
<p>actually I have a advantage in China cuz I speak all the main-stream-dialects of chinese fluently, but dont really want to work there if I can go to japan.</p>
<p>BTW how about toronto? its also a english place but outside of US, will your USA top degree help you significantly?</p>
<p>You're not interviewing in a place, you're interviewing at a company. You need to think of it like that. You get the company to like you, and place you in a spot that fits your interests. Investment banks are extremely good at being agnostic about nationality, ethnic background, language barriers, etc as long as you can make them money.</p>
