Brazil - São Paulo & Rio - Breaking In

I'm Portuguese and interested to know from my Brazilian friends how difficult/easy and what are the steps to break directly into HF/AM/PE coming from a target European Business School Finance MSc (HEC/LSE/LBS)?
I love Brazil and I am strongly considering going there (obviously language is not a barrier) and I speak other European languages fluently (including Spanish, French and English).
Also interested to know the main differences between SP and Rio on both opportunities and lifestyle/hours at the entry level. Obrigado!
