time and time and time and time again we're seeing this. haven't you seen previous posts or even do some googling on it? this question has been repeated time and time and time again and again and again. the answers and replies are always the same.
banking and finance because of what? the pay? of course you'll be able to move to the finance sector with your qualifications, 2.5k as personal banking associate. now you're gonna say that's not the kind of finance job you're looking for. you're more of the IB or trading or hoping to get some analyst role.
you made your choice when you chose chem engine, prolly because you thought chem engine pays well and you'll be able to get to exxon or shell as a chem engineer. but the sad realization is that they only accept cream of the crop and you, being second lowers, will not be able to get an offer.
please manage your expectations accordingly. and glam and pay isn't every thing in the world. don't think you'll get paid well through easy work in banks. the amount of crap, politics, sweat and hours you have to go through is unimaginable.
if you ever get in, i hope you won't come back here and post a new story saying you hope to change to other sectors cos banking isn't what you thought it to be.
