<t>One recruiter keeps asking if I want to consider Asia (Hong Kong and Tokyo), while I am in the US and looking for a job in the US as well. I also don't know any Asian languages. My question is -- are there really entry level jobs for people without the local background? How is it possible to surv...

<t>Hi,I wanted to ask people's advice on my situation. So, I have tried to find a quant job since last October (getting my PhD in Math in May).

Thank you for answers!It's not GS though... What can I think it is supposed to mean? Maybe they just like talking to me?

How typical is it for an IB to conduct three (or more) phone interviews? Or could it mean they weren't able to decide based on the first two if they want to invite on-site? Thank you!
