Reality check -

The finance sector is not expanding the last 2 years - in fact banks are firing or freezing headcount.

My take - if the sector is expanding rapidly, the banks are willing to take people with little experience to beef up their numbers to capture profits..

But that is not true at the moment.. I am not sure about 2-3 years time.. but to me, it doesnt seem like they will expand like the way they did between 2005-2008 where you have a good chance if you have a CFA, MBA, Masters in finance but no working experience in finance.. Unfortunately for the time being, i just dont see how...banks have more candidates to choose from..the group being retrenched, new fresh grads entering.. dont see why they would pick a MBA student with no finance background over a fresh grad with no finance background.

Maybe you can try those MBA graduate programs?
