How common is it for someone to attend an M7 with the goal of IB/MBB/T2 consulting and strike out without any job offers?

I have an acquitantance (international), that's spent all that money and has no US based job offer to show for it. Jobs back home can't pay off the debt easily.

Yeah but all the supposed benefits (network, brand name, etc) don't do a whole lot for you if you have to settle for being a used car salesman in Des Moines

The companies like US folks unfortunately. I also work with a lot of international people as well at my company, but you couldn’t tell that they are international people, all speak amazing English
