I have had conversations with 4-5 students - non EU at LBS and all of them have said that the Visa is an issue for employment. I would advise that students should talk to current students to get a more wider perspective on whats on paper on whats the ground reality.
The reasons cited by non eu students says,
1. To move from tie 2 to work Visa there is a legal process involved with no guarantee of success, the consulate has his discretion to accept or reject the Visa. Most mid and small companies are shying away from this complication and uncertainty and of late also the big companies are looking to hire only EU students. Prior non eu students could stay for 2 years without any sponsorship so companies werent bothered about the Visa issue.
2. There is a large pool of Masters and unemployed EU students already available who are much easier to recruit.
3. While the quota is not affected most companies are worried that rapid hiring of non EU will lead to their Tier 2 status changed from A to B. Moreover Tie 2 B companies arent keen on pursuing this route to avoid any risk.
4. To the above point on Tier 1 graduate entrepreneur Visa I dont think its available for anyone doing research etc. work in business administration or finance. The only other route is to start your own company with the condition of being employed in it only which makes it highly impossible for someone to change from tie 1 graduate to tier 2 work.
Once again I dont know what the actual ground situation is as I havent been there, what I would recommend is to get more perspectives before deciding whats the ground situation.

Imdapplicant2012, this is not true. As long as you have a valid student visa when you get a job offer, the employer can hire without the Resident Labour Market Test. This is clearly specified in paragraph 87 in the following document:

and i see names of all our newly admitted gmatclubbers.
good luck to you with your interview!
