Non-EU speaker exits in the UK

Hi folks,

I'm an incoming SA at a BB in London and am very keen on pursuing a career in private equity in London. However, I do not speak an EU language and I heard that this is a major disadvantage. Is there really no hope for me? What can I do to best position myself then? I'm an Asian male studying at a UK target if that matters. Thanks!

 

One of your advantages is that you DO speak additional language(s). Always useful.
there are funds that would look after regions nobody would be able to cover but you? do you speak Mandarin?
