Am I too further away?

Hey guys, so I am studying international business with financial institutions and markets in the UK. Take it as business major with a finance minor. Currently on a year long placement year doing accounting. Without counting this year I got 9 months of working experience in various areas such as digitisation operations and AML. Next year, going to finish my uni and want to get in a graduation scheme for ib. If not, will be looking for a finance masters.

My concern is no matter my working experiences etc. I think since my major isn’t finance I will be having a hard time rotating into ib. Do you think that’s the case? What could I pursue next to my studies next year that would help me better qualified for ib? As in different programmes like CFA. 20 years old by the way. Thanks.

I’m sorry, but I struggled to follow this. You must not be a native speaker, which is fine, but you have to improve your communication to do well in interviews and assessments.
