We've already covered the US issue. Nobody will be applying straight from the get go to the US (unless they are US citizens) as there's 0 incentive for banks to bother recruiting outside of their core schools (which, by the way, aren't all ivies). The people here in the UK will invariably come from the traditional EMEA targets (be that in the UK, Europe, Africa whatever), so when opportunities to transfer overseas arise, they'll be represented amongst the team there.
Recruiters in the US interface with recruiters elsewhere internally and via conversation and acknowledgement of top performers, hiring managers in the US will be aware of how strong people from different EMEA unis faired. They will also have guidance from EMEA about which schools are 'core schools' just as they would only be receiving resume stacks from mostly core schools in the US.
Rankings do not come into this at any given time.
Thanks, appreciate it - GS here I come woo
