<p>It’s more difficult for non-US residents/citizens studying abroad to find jobs in the US, but this must be qualified. It all comes down to sponsorship. If you’re a highly qualified applicant at a top university outside the US then you’ll have more opportunities than a similarly qualified applicant at an average university in the US. Employers are looking for quality and will hire accordingly. I know plenty of people at Oxbridge/LSE who went to work in the US. Another option is to work for a firm in London and then transfer to their US-based branch once you’ve established a solid reputation.</p>
<p>LSE has a very strong reputation in academia and across nearly all markets that touch on the social sciences. It’s particularly strong in NYC and Washington, DC. Any claim that the LSE isn’t on par with Ivies or other top US universities is simply wrong. The LSE’s strategic partner in the US is Columbia and it should be viewed as roughly equivalent (for the social sciences, of course). US firms do recruit at the LSE campus for jobs in the US market and LSE students are eligible to work in the US. Any statement to the contrary is false.</p>
