Hi all.

Thanks for all the valuable inputs contributed.

What are the realistic odds and options of breaking into CF for a candidate with the following profile:
-first class honors
-engineering degree
-Universiti Malaya (UM)
-<1 year Corporate Strategy experience at a public-listed telco startup
-finance internship at a MNC
-active extra-curricular participation and achievements

On a broader sense, I'd like to understand the odds for a non-finance background graduate in breaking into the following entry-level finance roles:
1. Research at buy-side or sell-side
2. Risk management
3. Treasury/asset management
4. CF at foreign and local investment banks (pretty much unrealistic if you're not top graduate from top unis from what I gathered)
5. CF/financial analyst at Big4 or mid-tier firms
6. Financial analyst at companies (well at least it's likely for GE FMP)

I'd be most grateful if someone could advise what are the options and companies for this case.

Thanks!
