IB in a MM boutique in Brazil looking for some guidance

Hi everyone,

I'm from Brazil and I have been an intern in a MM boutique here for the past year, while also studying Economics full time.

I have always wanted to move abroad (for personal reasons) and keep working in finance, not necessarily IB, even though I would love to.

Considering my non-traditional background I'm well aware that my chance in countries like the USA and UK where finance jobs are very sought after are slim, so I'd be more inclined to work in other European countries or Australia. I'm also a portuguese citizen so working in Europe should be ok.

I would appreciate you guidance and tips to better understand what are my odds of making it, and what my next steps should be. Should I start cold messaging professionals in LinkedIn? Should I pursue a MBA or maybe the CFA?

Thanks!
