Don't waste your time. You won't get in. Trust me. Stick to your public sector job. Don't fantasize earning big bucks. Impossible to get in especially for locals. Many foreign shops bring in their own people.

I am currently in the public sector, and as I have no real skillset in finance, I think this will be the best option for me to break into to that sector, with a higher notch above the fresh grads.

What were you working as in the 2 years?

Imo, having an accounting degree is great to break into some finance roles. What roles are you exactly interested in?
