What are my chances for HK SA / FT next year?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently completing my final year at a top-tier European school and have two internships under my belt:

IBD Internship at a large bank with a strong presence in HK
Non-FO internship at a large financial institution

I’m fluent in English and Mandarin, plus one major European language. Do you think it’s realistic to target IB full-time analyst roles or a IB Summer Analyst position in HK with my profile?

Any advice on how to position myself and maximize my odds would be hugely appreciated—especially from anyone. Happy to share more details in DMs if helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Investment Banking Full Resume Review

“Very prompt with his communications. Really went the extra mile to make sure that everything was fully accurate (very clear and he didn't half-ass it). I feel like my CV is much more concise and better formatted now. Seems very kind from his emails and I will definitely consider following up with him for a game plan on my applications, although I would be remiss if I didn't speak to other mentors. Overall, very attentive and easy to communicate with. Everything was stellar and now just hoping the AI review gives me a good score!”
