Visa sponsorship for experienced hires is determined by the specific office, role and immigration route, not simply the firm's global brand.

Eligibility can change with local law, salary thresholds, professional credentials and current hiring policy.

An office sponsoring certain technology specialists may not sponsor every generalist applicant from abroad. Keep the explanation forward-looking and avoid criticizing your manager or employer.

Ask the recruiting team for the exact office and role whether sponsorship is available and what documentation they require. The international consulting applicant guide offers background questions to consider, but student visa rules should not be assumed to apply to experienced hires.

I keep getting contradictory advice about sponsorship.

Having work authorization already seems like a big advantage.
