Hi there,

Ideally to apply to an office you need 3 things:

1. Satisfy language requirements
2. Satisfy visa requirements (or be able to get sponsorship)
3. Show connection to the particular office

If you don’t satisfy number 3, the best thing is to compensate it with a referral. You can find more on referrals at the link below:

Hey there,

The screening requirements are the same from a resume perspective. You need to show spikes in:

• Academic performance
• Work experience
• Experience abroad
• Extracurricular activities

These are the basics that need to be covered regardless of the office you are applying to.

So answering your first question: No, there is no difference in terms of the core requirements. Based on the info you provided that should work out for you.

Now that this is established, the main issue with a different office is the topic around visa requirements. It is certainly possible, however, it might be a bit trickier.

The most actionable advice on how to tackle that is to contact HR of the different firms and discuss your situation with them. They are here to help and answer such questions daily.

All the best with your preparation and hopefully it works out!

Cheers,

Florian

Hi there,

Like anywhere, if you don't have local citizenship/working rights and you don't have prior work/education/life experience on your resume that ties to the office, it will be harder to get in!

That said, you can mitigate that by showing genuine interest in the office. Network aggressively with the London office and try to get on the phone with a few people! In particular, get your name/resume in front of the recruiter (either via a referral, or through your networking).

Good luck!

Hi, I confirm London is one of the geographies with most international students. Brand prestige of your university, high grades, international and working experiences will be crucial to get the invitation. I also recommend a referral

Best,
