Thanks All.

@ohai, I think its a combination of timing, luck and skills (as in practical experience). May be it works a little differently here in Asia wherein for most of the internal openings, they do require someone who has worked in similar capacity before or the other route is throu graduate programs which arent an option for me now at 31 years of age.
I have tried speaking to FO team and all I hear is, you have a good profile , but sorry we are not hiring. read books x,y,z and try in abc team (some different team) which in turn is not hiring either. Some say that it will be tough as they want someone who contirbutes right from day 1. although most say i do have a goof profile (cfa, mba etc).
honeslty i have yet gone to all the potential teams but here is what the few teams I spoke to said.

@frankarabia, i wish i will be able to say the same a few months/years down the line. how did you manage to change.

All, out of the four options I listed, which one do you think I shall pick. it has been 5 years now and i dont think i will be able to convince myself to be happy without getting a better job in FO
please give your valuable inputs
