Hi Guys
Please state which country you are from and how difficult it is to get employment in the job/industry of your choice right now.
It may also be interesting to note to what degree passing Level 1 will assist you in getting the job you desire (if known).
South Africa - I am currently working for Deloitte as tax accountant.
Jobs in financial markets are currently few and hard to get. I feel that I might need to get into an administrative stockbroking position first, before I can actually get into a broking/dealing/trading (front office) position.
Passing should assist me in getting into the industry, however, i am a bit sceptical and don't expect miracles.
Not a great time for a career change, especially into financial markets, I know!作者: Londonrocks 时间: 2011-7-13 13:32
I am from Brazil and was working in Sao Paulo in the Back Office of a large Broker from a multinational Bank...
They had moved two years ago to Santiago, Chile and now I am working in Queretaro, Mexico in a completely different department (Corporative Projects).
I am planning to quit this job and try to find something in Financial Markets here in Mexico, especially in Brokers/Banks, but, as I am living here for just a month, I don't have the acknowledgment of how hard it will be to find something interesting....作者: kasinkei 时间: 2011-7-13 13:32
Ireland - a few of the banks are hiring again but very very little - most of my friends are still getting made redundant!作者: Ionutzakis 时间: 2011-7-13 13:32

How hard is it from a foreign to find a job in NYC? Sorry for disturbing you, but do you have any idea of how should I apply for a job there?作者: bapswarrior 时间: 2011-7-13 13:32

Oh ok, but what sort of qualifications and experience does this apply to? I mean for someone like myself, trying to break into industry, with BCom (Acc), tax diploma, CFA program and acc/tax experience it will probably be quite tough?
The problem we have here in SA is that employers will not hire you for a junior trading/stockbroking position if you don't have at least 3yrs experience; so its a catch 22, as I need to get that first position/break in order to get those 3yrs!
Do employers in the US actually hire candidates without experience, and in addition, what is the attitude to foreigners seeking employment?
Thanks for your help on this mpnoonan.作者: draz 时间: 2011-7-13 13:32
Easy in Canada for what type of job? And where?作者: kasinkei 时间: 2011-7-13 13:33
This is interesting about Canada. I'm Canadian abroad looking to get back there but not sure what headhunters to go through or how to go about making contact with decent shops (haven't lived in Canada for some time now so network not strong at all there). Care to drop some more names? I don't know the Canadian recruitment landscape at all really. I've just got 1 year as a junior trader/strategist on BB commodities prop desk (London/NY).作者: nitoha 时间: 2011-7-13 13:33
I am working in a Singapore Govt company in Finance department for more than 2 years. I haven't applied for any job for past two years. As such, not sure, how hard it is to get a desired job in Singapore. I am waiting for the results now, very soon I need to start to hunt for my dream job (i.e., investment related).作者: Siddimaula 时间: 2011-7-13 13:33
I'm in South Africa too and it seems that very few banks are hiring for new positions, only time they take people onboard is to replace positions where people resigned but definitely seems to be a hiring freeze at most places.
