[求助]英国Cass的Msc Intl Acct& Fin中国学生留英工作的希望有多大？

MaonaSID

本人收到美国Lehigh University Msc of Accounting& Information System录取，但同时还在申请英国Cass Business School 的Msc of Accounting& Finance,　虽然结果还没有出来，但是想先询问大家一下Cass的情况：
本人美本毕业，University of Wisconsin – Madison, 专业是Economics/Math，虽然申请了美国硕士，但London一直是我的dream city. 虽然今年英国取消了PSW签证，在各个方面收紧了移民政策，但是毕竟还是允许找到年薪２万英镑以上工作的人留下的。。所以我想问一下Cass Business School, 尤其是它的Msc in Accounting & Finance专业，中国留学生留英就业的情况如何？毕竟它地处伦敦金融城，怎么说networking都比较强大，我还是对它抱有一线希望的。。请问有谁比较了解Cass? 如果对非欧盟成员国的留学生来说找工作就是天方夜谭的话，那我就死心踏地留在美国了读书了。。。可我真的很想去伦敦。。谢谢大家帮忙分析解难！

Cass is pretty good at placing students in the city, I should say it's definitely not impossible. The change in immegration policy doesn't affect those who want to secure a job in big financial institutions.

Wow thank you very much for your reply..I posted this question in several forums and you are the very first to reply!!
When you say "doesn't affect ...in big financial institutions" what do you mean exactly? Are u saying that it is pretty easy for Cass students to find a job in big financial institutions? What about the Big 4?

Sorry but I cannot type Chinese. I meant that big institutions will sponsor your visa anyway. You don't need to worry about the visa if you get a full-time offer from them. About the difficulty of finding a job; although it sounds a bit cliché, it does have a lot to do with your past experience, networking, commitment and luck. I should say Cass provides a pretty good platform - not as good as LSE, Oxbridge etc., but I do see many Cass alumni in the city (say GSAM, HSBC, MS, M&G, Aberdeen Asset Management, Bloomberg, all from my observations). Having said that, the items I listed are really really important. Everyone has a shot if he/she is really committed to work in London. Hope that helps.

Big four keeps a reasonably large graduate class. They are not terribly hard to get into. The good thing is that they don't discriminate against candidates who do not have fancy degrees and/or internships, but there are many rounds in the application process - many questions (some are really stupid) and many tests. You cannot make any mistakes in either one of them. A lot of people fail the Big Four not because of lack of a strong background, but making some stupid mistakes and/or being lazy.

You are just so right about everything! That is why most people suggest me to stay in the States. A one-year or one-half-year program in London (and without PSW) probably won't provide me with enough time for job hunting. And if I fail to find a job at the end of the program, I'll have to go back to China. However, the US program lasts two years and I also get an OPT for one year after that. It is obvious that the US program is definitely a better choice (hopefully), although I prefer living in London instead.

I never know that! Someone told me that UK employers are mad about fancy undergraduate degrees with high GPA. The big 4 seem much fairer to all students. However, those tests sound terrible. Is it that only UK big 4 do that? Or all big 4 firms around the world are so strict about making mistakes?

晕，我发现CD上有好多人明明自己都没经历过，却把自己整得跟个专家似的还要在这里帮人答惑解疑。

各位解疑的同志，你们的解答依据从哪里来的？在伦敦金融城工作过，亦或是当过BIG 4的HR？这年头IBer真多。

看来LS有“有依据”的见解，洗耳恭听。。。
本来CD就是个公开公平的大家都可以share opinion的平台，有人爱说，有人爱听，就行了。别的不说了。。。
