Do you want to work in NYC? If you’re ok with Europe, except for the UK maybe, you’re not really disadvantaged. All the top IBs have offices in Frankfurt, Paris, Zuerich, etc. and they recruit at the domestic universities. In my country, ML recruits at about 25 universities and not all of them are good. If you go to, say, St. Gallen or something along the line, you should have a good shot at IB jobs in continental Europe. If you’re dead set on NYC though, you’ll have a tougher time than, say, a Brown grad, but your profile looks very interesting!
