You ivy education background is much more useful in NYC than in mainland China so probably the swtich could have been easier if you were still in U.S.

 

anyway my suggestion would be to make the switch using networking. Use your personal network especially your T/P and ivy alum working in finance. I am sure there are a lot if you are in Beijing/Shanghai/Shenzhen/Guangzhou/HK. Go out after work and in the weekends for coffee/drink/dinner and meet old/new friends working in IB/securities firms aggressively and show them your interest and capability. Start from people who really know you and trust you. This is 100 times more efficient than CFA/CAIA/FRM/CPA/ACCA ..... in the meanwhile you can try crack CFA if you really have nothing to do.

 

Also try your best to network internally and see if you can transfer to a transaction service/M&A/IPO deal advisory position inside your big4 audit firm

 

don't even think about quiitting your job. Loss in work experience can't be even partially compensated by a piece of useless CFA paper
