I graduated same course last year with a first and started work 1 day after the finals at a foreign bank doing sales basic about 3k.

2 months back from a network I managed to secure a role as a mid ops role with a fund house drawing about 5.5k.

In school I managed to be in a CCA committee and obtained CFA lvl 1 and just passed lvl 2 =)

Just note that A&F degree not only limited to accounting role. I was offered Kpmg but the working hrs turn me off.

Only advice is to know what you want to do and work towards something that can show.
