Don't know Mandarin + Non-target = Screwed?
More and more posts mention that Mandarin is essential for M&A & ECM in HK. Read that S&T doesn't require it as much but I am not really interested in the markets side.
1. My Mandarin is beginner level - can speak a little and understand more based on context because I did learn Mandarin for a few years but then forgot everything. Might as well be blind and paralyzed when it comes to reading and writing.
2. If it helps, I do understand the culture as I lived in Shanghai for a few years and I am currently in Mainland on exchange.
3. To add to the pile of bad decisions, I am a student at a non-target in HK, and the summer internship prospects look bleak - haven't heard back from anyone after HireVue yet.
4. Experience wise I have completed a semi-related internship at a Fortune 500 non-financial services company, leadership level at my uni's investment club, did a few competitions, etc.
Am I screwed? What can I do to position myself better?
