I am clear about what i want to achieve, it doesn't matter where i have to start from. If my grades and my current network does allow me to start as a RM, i would then seek for other position whereby the requirement is lower.
And in fact I don't think my 1 year sales experience does help much. Many ppl out there can do sales, but not many have global exposure. Just wondering how I can utilize this as one of my core strength to enter the banking industry...
Suggestions?

another engineer who wants to go banking...honestly u can forget abt it...
assuming u dun know anyone and u r starting fresh through job application, why wld a bank choose u?
u r not finance grad. u got no honors. do u haf CFA?
u think ppl take masters for fun just to join banking? no, they take because they need a fresh start. they take a relevant finance course to join the associate program. They know banks will ask y u nv take finance education? why u grad go n join this other job? or when u were studying why did u not take a finance internship.
look at ur compeititors,
SMU,
NUS students with 2 banking internships before they grad? How to fight? n most r 2nd upper to first class.
if u really no network, maybe take a masters of financial engineering or MBA to network and restart again. Engineer r good in math, better for trading, product structuring, risk management roles than RM...
but like wat someone said earlier, retail banking n sme corporate banking maybe u got chance..
