Hi all!

Currently a US citizen who has been in consulting for 4 years. Currently at a boutique strategy firm. Was curious if anyone has experience in how to break into getting a sponsorship in London/how hard it would be.

Are there any firms I should pay close attention to?

Thanks!

Big 4, MBB and certain Tier 2s will sponsor you if you are worth the hassle

Most mid to large consulting firms (>5,000 employees globally) will easily sponsor. Bare in mind though that it is generally seen as a disadvantage due to the hassle and time it takes especially now that everyone is desperate to onboard people fast. However, you will be assessed on your overall interview performance with this just being one of the factors.

Hi everyone I work at EY and have 3 YOE. EY started the perm process after 2.5 years, the role is for manager. It is standard that managers have 5 years of experience, does this mean that the green card will only be available in 2 years from now when you typically make manager (maybe 1 if early promoted)? From my understanding I have another 6 months with the PWD, Recruitment and then filing items, so it will be ready relatively soon. Just trying to make heads or tails of it.
