With only jr level exp doing finance ops on the ARAP side, you can get in a big4 as a fresh level associate after that already sibei heng lah, what investment speacialist / fund manager talking you?
BTW I cant believe you actually take all that ACCA framework theoretic sh!t seriously, go and take your CV to any headhunter and say you want to be a investment specialist / fund manager because you are ACCA certified and see who will bother to entertain you.
Not pouring cold water or what, but you really think taking some relatively common cert like ACCA is gonna transform you from some 2.1k accounts assistant to a investment banking / trading BB har?
Time to wake up & smell the roses.

That's why I mention taking cfa or mba. I didn't say now, I want to achieve. Anyway that's just a intetest.
And going in big 4 at the right time Isint that hard. I have friend 0 experience in accounts + passed 4 papers In acca getting in big 4 because his brother pulled him in. It's about networking and timing.
With ARAP experience just last year, I was called by one of the big 4 to do online IQ test but I didnt take it seriously and did not complete so could not get to the next stage.
