IU Kelley vs ASU Carey for finance

My goal would be to end up in investment banking but I would be fine with other corporate finance roles.

Kelley would be better than ASU for IB. For any banking, fairly equivalent.

BUT as an international student, you won’t be able to get an IB job in the US because banks won’t sponsor junior staff (it will be difficult for any banking job really). See this post here, from CC’s IB expert:

New York University Early Decision for Fall 2024 Admission

If a work visa is required IBs will not sponsor junior staff. Since the Trump administration toughened up the scrutiny of these applications it has become very costly and often rejected unless a specific skill that is unique to the applicant and unavailable locally is proven. For analyst level this is a bit of a non starter. Best shot would be to apply to a global CIB in your home country and acquire targeted skills with the eventual hope of being sent to the US on a secondment and localized. A tough path with uncertainty unfortunately.
