Chances at GS ER Singapore?
As the title goes - what are my chances at a GS ER FT position in Singapore?
Me in a nutshell: - Target school in Asia (Country X, not China/HK/Singapore) - Native fluency in Language X and English, working proficiency of another major Asian language (not Chinese) - Pre-college experience living in Southeast Asia - No (absolutely zero) finance background - MBB consulting internship experience
My clear downsides are my GPA and lack of finance background, but I was hoping these would be somewhat made up for by my school, language skills, and internship experience. I've previously been interviewed for a BB internship in Country X (got rejected), and was called in for an intern interview at another BB in Country X (which I turned down due to prior commitments).
Considering your competition, you'll have a hard time. Depending on how low your GPA is, I'll say your only chance is through your network.

Guess "No (absolutely zero) finance background" would be the dealbreaker. But hey, applying dont cost nothing, right?
Doesn't hurt to apply, but your chances are much better getting on at a broker in your home country. Some of the BBs have local offices in the bigger ASEAN countries which you could potentially parlay into working at their office in Singapore or HK.
