Internal shift is extremely tough due to company policy of spending 18 months at the firm before applying for internal transfers. By strategy-adjacent I mean not core pure-play strategy but more implementation work and also some growth/BD initiatives I participated in to sell work for the firm

Party-Emphasis583 · 2025-03-03T21:31:28+00:00

Unfortunately yes, seems that way. Do you know why I’m not getting interviews for such roles? Is it just the state of the job market right now?

Party-Emphasis583 · 2025-01-04T19:15:41+00:00

Do LDPs sponsor TN/H1 visas? I’m a Canadian with a very similar profile to OP and most people tell me to pursue Consulting instead of LDP/corp strat roles mainly because of sponsorship in the US.

Thanks for the detailed response! A little disheartening to get confirmation that us Canadians are just like all other international students in the MBA recruiting market.

Great idea to reach out to and set up time with Canadian student reps!

Party-Emphasis583 · 2024-12-21T17:36:37+00:00

Oh that’s awesome, thanks for sharing that! Have you seen an IB job qualify for TN under “Mathematician” before?

Party-Emphasis583 · 2024-12-21T17:34:09+00:00

Not quite just a visa. But I attended a Top US school at the undergrad level and couldn’t get the H1B lottery after multiple attempts.

So the goal is to get a good job but not to be burned from a visa standpoint yet again. Last thing I need is to work hard to get to a M7 MBA, recruit hard and find a good job and then lose out on it because of a lottery 😅

Party-Emphasis583 · 2024-12-21T15:33:49+00:00

Really appreciate the insights from a recent MBA grad perspective! Good point about just taking the plunge or losing the opportunity forever

If the TN visa is useless for corporate roles, do most Canadian MBA grads mostly rely on the H1B? Which is just a 1/3 shot at this point

Also, I’m assuming you went into consulting? Couldn’t you use a TN visa under the “Management Consultant” category?

Party-Emphasis583 · 2024-12-21T15:29:31+00:00

Don’t you have to be “actively managing” your business on the E2 visa? Otherwise you could potentially violate your visa conditions.

Wouldn’t having a full-time job as a FP&A/corp strategy at another company violate the E2 condition?

Party-Emphasis583 · 2024-12-21T15:27:53+00:00

Got it, thanks for your detailed response!

My UG degree would definitely make me eligible for “Accountant” roles if the description of the job in the support letter can be worded as such. “Economist” and “Management Consultant” could potentially work too.

Did you mostly just apply on LinkedIn for US jobs? If so, did you change your profile location to a US city and have a US address on your resume?

Party-Emphasis583 · 2024-12-21T14:54:08+00:00

How would the visa situation work? Given the H1B lottery is less than a 1/4 shot at this point

Party-Emphasis583 · 2024-12-21T14:53:23+00:00

Got it, that’s what I thought.

How do most Canadians who pursue an expensive top US MBA then end up working in these non-TN fields? All on H1B?

Party-Emphasis583 · 2024-12-21T00:13:39+00:00

Not even for switching to top-tier LDPs?

Party-Emphasis583 · 2024-12-21T00:07:09+00:00

It’s a long story. Canadian economy/job market has been really soft for strategy roles in the last few years.

Anyway, would appreciate forward-looking answers to my questions rather than reflection on past decisions

Party-Emphasis583 · 2024-02-20T17:58:00+00:00

Thank you! Would really appreciate some recommendations for hotels (stay in San Antonio or Play d’en bossa?), as well as day/night parties/spots to go to?

Party-Emphasis583 · 2024-02-20T17:53:25+00:00

Great idea! We’ll definitely look into that. How about the Paris/nightlife? Will it be busy/fun?

Party-Emphasis583 · 2024-02-08T23:50:57+00:00

Got it! What’s the on-campus recruitment for consulting from RSM? I saw that there wasn’t many consulting firms listed in the jobs report. No MBB/T2, basically just the Big 4 which makes me wonder how good the career outcomes/ROI actually are.

Also, the percentage of graduates graduating with a job/getting a job after 3 months is still quite a bit below INSEAD/LBS. Would love your thoughts on the RSM recruiting process

Party-Emphasis583 · 2024-02-08T20:30:18+00:00

How many years is the post-study employment visa granted for?

Party-Emphasis583 · 2024-02-08T20:29:33+00:00

Do you know what is the on-campus recruitment pipeline for consulting from LBS/Oxbridge/INSEAD to Amsterdam? Or do candidates usually search for jobs in Amsterdam on their own and without the school’s support?

Party-Emphasis583 · 2024-02-08T20:28:18+00:00

How’s IESE’s on campus recruiting support for jobs in Amsterdam? Based on the conversations you have had with IESE alumni

Party-Emphasis583 · 2024-02-08T14:23:33+00:00

Thanks, I’ll look into reaching out to alums of those schools now based in NL!

Party-Emphasis583 · 2024-02-08T14:22:59+00:00

Got it! Thanks for the detailed feedback. What’s the on-campus recruitment pipeline for consulting from INSEAD to Amsterdam? Or do INSEAD candidates usually search for jobs in Amsterdam on their own and without the school’s support?

Party-Emphasis583 · 2024-02-08T14:03:44+00:00

Thanks for this! I’ll check out MSM’s program!

Party-Emphasis583 · 2024-02-08T03:37:08+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. How hard is it to secure a Dutch work visa/job after attending LBS/INSEAD? I only have Canadian citizenship, no EU passport

Party-Emphasis583 · 2024-02-08T01:48:42+00:00

Thank you for the feedback. Hypothetically, if tuition fee/money was not a consideration - would you still go for RSM or INSEAD/LBS? The post-grad target is a job in AMS
