A) Many foreign banks
B) Smaller Boutique Funds

The sad fact is that the biggest discriminator or degree value are our own people - because they know the system. |
Would place foreign banks under the 'out' category. Their HR departments are still based in Singapore and they still discrimate against SIM students especially for front and middle office roles. Big Asset Management / Hedge funds are definitely out though, even local uni grads have a hard time breaking in.
