Get Access To All JobsABOUT THE ROLE:
S&P Global Market Intelligence is seeking highly motivated graduate students to join the Advisory Services team as Economic Consulting Interns. This internship provides an opportunity to work at the intersection of economic research, policy analysis, and consulting.
Interns will support project teams across a range of economic consulting engagements, including macroeconomic analysis, policy impact assessments, sector studies, economic modeling, and strategic advisory work for public- and private-sector clients.
THE TEAM:
The Global Insight (GI) group, within S&P Global’s Market Intelligence division, supports clients across all government and private sectors with data and research on macroeconomics, markets, trade, supply chains, geopolitics, and operational risk. GI’s services consist of subscriptions to data/analysis products and consulting. This role is in the consulting team. The team designs and delivers custom analytical solutions for client requirements that are not met by subscription products. These custom solutions typically integrate datasets, deploy specialized models, and/or develop new approaches to deliver unique insights to support clients in their strategic decisions. Whereas most major consultancies rely on large teams to provide value, our team is fortunate to draw on an unparalleled breadth of data, research, expertise, and models to solve client problems, and support planning and decision-making. These proprietary assets are the result of decades of development and proven value.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding J-1 Visa Sponsorship as a Business Development Consultant
Frame your training plan around measurable outcomes
Designated sponsors require a structured training plan before issuing your DS-2019. Document specific business development skills you'll develop, such as market analysis, pipeline management, and client acquisition strategies, with clear milestones your host employer can verify.
Distinguish Intern from Trainee category eligibility
The Intern category requires current enrollment in a degree program, while Trainee applies to professionals with a degree plus one year of relevant experience, or five years of work history. Misidentifying your category delays your DS-2019 issuance and can unsettle your host employer.
Target host employers with existing international training programs
Search for U.S. companies in consulting, market expansion, or professional services that have hosted J-1 trainees before. Use Migrate Mate to filter for roles and employers aligned with J-1 sponsorship rather than cold-applying to companies unfamiliar with the host employer model.
Prepare a field-specific credential package before outreach
Business development roles require demonstrating commercial impact. Assemble a portfolio showing revenue influenced, partnerships developed, or markets entered before you contact potential host employers. Sponsors and hosts both scrutinize whether your background justifies the training objective.
Clarify the 2-year home residency requirement early
Some J-1 Trainee participants are subject to a two-year home-country residency requirement before qualifying for certain other U.S. visas. Confirm with your designated sponsor whether your country or funding source triggers this requirement before accepting a host employer offer.
Align your offer letter with the training plan language
Your host employer's offer letter and your DS-2019 training plan must describe the same role and objectives. Discrepancies between the two documents are a common reason designated sponsors delay or reject DS-2019 issuance for Trainee applicants in consulting roles.

Find Business Development Consultant JobsBusiness Development Consultant J-1 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Which J-1 program category fits a Business Development Consultant role?
Most Business Development Consultant positions fall under the J-1 Trainee category if you hold a degree and at least one year of relevant professional experience, or five years of work history in the field. Current students completing a degree may qualify under the Intern category if the placement is tied to their academic program. The Specialist category can apply in narrower cases where the role requires recognized expertise in a highly specific discipline.
Who actually sponsors my J-1 visa for a business development role?
Your visa sponsor is a U.S. Department of State-designated organization, not your employer. Organizations such as Cultural Vistas or AIPT issue your DS-2019 form and oversee your training plan. The company hiring you for the business development role is your host employer. They commit to the training program but do not file for your visa or carry the legal sponsorship designation.
How do I find U.S. employers willing to host a J-1 Trainee in a consulting role?
Use Migrate Mate to search for business development and consulting roles at U.S. companies that are open to international candidates and familiar with the J-1 host employer model. Many companies in professional services, market research, and technology have prior experience with J-1 trainees but don't advertise that in standard job postings, so filtering by sponsorship alignment saves significant time.
Does the 2-year home residency requirement apply to Business Development Consultants on J-1?
It depends on your country of nationality, your country of most recent legal residence, and whether your exchange program is funded by a government or your home country's international affairs programs. If the requirement applies, you must return home for two years before being eligible for H-1B, L-1, or immigrant visa status. Your designated sponsor will determine applicability when issuing your DS-2019.
Can I extend my J-1 Trainee placement if my host employer wants to keep me longer?
J-1 Trainee placements are capped at 18 months, with a possible extension to 24 months for trainees in hospitality. Business development roles typically fall within the standard 18-month limit. Extensions must be approved by your designated sponsor before your current DS-2019 expires, and the host employer must submit updated training objectives demonstrating continued program value.
