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!
