Hmm no connection, no referral. Maybe some keywords in my resume that landed myself in HR’s radar. I think not most people want to work my shift too, which requires me to start 1-2hrs early.. I have a friend from ops who joined the US shift for 2 years before switching to day job. The bank is willing to groom young people ( late 20s is still considered young to them), so it’s up to individual are they willing to bite the bullet for the first few yrs.
