From UK B4 Audit to High Finance in Singapore?
Hi all, due to personal reasons I plan to move to Singapore within the next 3 years, and was wondering how the high finance climate is like over there and what steps I should take now to break in?
A little bit of background: scored first class for my master's at a target, completed financial modelling courses in my own time, did an equity research internship this summer (no FT as it's a small shop). Unfortunately I only took recruiting seriously during my final year of uni, which is why I applied for master's to have another shot, but we all know how difficult recruiting was for 2023 compared to Covid years :(
Right now I'm auditing asset managers, and tasks could range from repetitive invoice checking to more interesting valuation work on their investments and intangibles. I've also passed 6 of the 15 exams for ACA.
I'm pretty open to roles as long as it's front office and finance related, so investment banking (M&A, ECM, DCM, LevFin), equity research, asset management, and maybe corporate banking as well.
I feel like there is not much mention of Singapore on WSO and was wondering if the finance industry there is any different from the UK? On the plus side I feel there is some weight to the B4 name and ACA (if I do complete it), and I have relevant experience in valuation and financial modelling. The downside is that I have never worked in a bank, nor do I have any deal experience.
Would love to hear your thoughts about how I should approach this!
