nothing is impossible. but even to a 1st class hons student local uni its a bit hard to be ibanker ( i assuming u want to go front office)

perhaps u can research on which role u want to be.
be more specific. do u want to be deal with M&A or u want to be trader?
if trader what kind of trader. commodities, forex ?

suggest u join those smaller firms/brokerage 1st

for example my fren got 1st class hons in engineering and he got in as investment banker. He took part in a lot of forex trading competitions and got into finals. So i think it helps a lot , his 1st class from NTU might not be enough to got him the job.
