[QUOTE="Aks.Khurana, post: 174347, member: 30912"] Hey Peter, Thanks for sharing. As an international student myself, I completely understand your frustrations. It's hard not to wonder whether there are other social forces at play that are making it harder for you to succeed! In my opinion (this can't be said about every firm but is more often the case than not), I don't believe that your background as an international student substantially affects your odds of success. This is particularly the case with larger firms with greater budgets and revenues, where they are very accustomed to sponsoring work visas and funding the SQE / GDL. There will certainly be some firms that have this preference; however, I think this is less common than you'd believe. The only thing one can really do is focus on doing your very best through each phase of the process, and choose firms that value you. Given your experiences, I'm certain there will be several firms that will value your individual lived experiences! Lean into your differences, this is what makes you unique in an interview or application. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
