Very hard. Just think from employers angle. Why would they want to hire someone in his late twenties when there are tons of relatively cheaper, more energetic fresh grads who don't already have bad habits acquired from working in irrelevant organizations.

That said I do know of someone who managed to join a boutique firm because a friend helped him.

Anyway this is all talk. You have 6 years to look for your dream job. If you can't find any, you'll just have to settle for a middle management role in the irrelevant organization.

I still strongly suggest you go find a great job now and beg borrow sting to break the bond now. Else, be very prepared you will have an unfulfilled dream for the rest of your life. Or settle for a lesser dream like becoming an entrepreneur years down the road. Cheers.
