Do consulting firms sponsor visas for International students at Columbia NYC?

I'm an international student from Europe who's been accepted the Columbia University in New York. I'll be studying some combination of Math and Economics, looking at careers in Consulting.

But I'm worried about being left jobless after the program as I'll require visa sponsorship after 1 year of OPT, and I'm not sure if MBB or even boutiques recruit internationals.

What do careers for internationals at Columbia look like? Do you have to be insanely talented (Math Olympiad, Startup, etc.) to get hired? Or do a few internships suffice? People with knowledge please help me out.

Big firms like MBB do! I was myself an international student who recruited full time for one of the McKinsey US offices and got accepted! Happy to connect and chat live about how to overcome the challeneges and even leverage our international background to our favor for breaking into consulting! If interested, please book a time with me :)

I would suggested to not be overly worried. You have got into a great place - and you just need to trust the process of preparation to get you where you need to be. If certain factors are out of your control (such as any US policies) - then you will be left short-handed no-matter-what. But until such time - get in, prep well, network with a good heart, and create your chances. Sponsorship is definitely available at the top-brands but government policies will obviously influence that.

Additionally, Math + Economics alone will not prepare you well for Consulting and the Consultant-mindset. Going into case-prep with Math+Eco studies runs the risk of making you an "analyst-style" consultant and not a "business-style" consultant. So you will need to take side courses that are relevant to Management & Finance.

Onboarding a coach for consulting prep will also be helpful - to ensure that your prep is consistent and streamlined from the beginning. Happy to help if you need!
