Recruiting question: I have a connection who has great internships related to M&A and consulting at big 4 and MBB and graduating with a masters in finance at a very well known (top 25 school) who is VERY interested in FDD. The only potential issue is that they are an international student. What are their chances at finding employment in M&A as a new associate? If anyone can offer insight and guidance that would be much appreciated! What can I do to help them?

I am CA FINAL student, i have done most of my internship into audit but post qualification i want to start my career into taxation( direct & international). Any suggestions or recommendation on whether any big 4 will take a fresher.

I am working hard on my theoretical knowledge before interview.

Also preparing for Enrolled Agent USA, IRS
