[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been thinking about encouraging my kids to apply to Oxbridge because of the academic rigor and the opportunity to study alongside equally bright peers, given the emphasis on academic merit in admissions.

I’m curious about what the experience is like when it comes to [b]finding internships back in the U.S[/b]. — can anyone share their insights? I’ve noticed on LinkedIn that many major companies do hire Oxbridge graduates, but I’d love to hear some first-hand experiences from DCUM

As someone who was hiring mgr in the UK for many years, I think this would be about your connections and the child’s hustle. UK satellites of even the largest companies will recruit for their local openings, maybe EU openings as well if the UK is the regional HQ…. There is zero shot that Oxbridge career services is going to help you much in this regard. Do you have connections that you can pull? I honestly think that would be the easiest maybe the only way to land a US internship while attending a UK school.  [/quote]

US schools have recruiters that show up, interview, and collect resumes - are you saying that no one comes to Oxbridge? Not even companies like: Google, Meta, Microsoft? That sounds very. odd that everything is dependent on connections. Sure connections are the best way in but you don't find the best with connections alone.[/quote]
