Brazil - São Paulo & Rio - Breaking In
I'm Portuguese and interested to know from my Brazilian friends how difficult/easy and what are the steps to break directly into HF/AM/PE coming from a target European Business School Finance MSc (HEC/LSE/LBS)? I love Brazil and I am strongly considering going there (obviously language is not a barrier) and I speak other European languages fluently (including Spanish, French and English). Also interested to know the main differences between SP and Rio on both opportunities and lifestyle/hours at the entry level.

Sao Paulo has better opportunities than Rio in finance carrers.
São Paulo has many more opportunities in finance than any other city; it is home to the headquarters of the main banks. If you want to work in high finance, you have to move there.
However, if you love Rio and want to work in finance there, there are many hedge funds and asset management firms. But if you don’t want to work in equity research or macro strategy on the buy side, move to São Paulo.
Other oportunities out of São Paulo in finance are not well paid, and other opportunities in Rio in any area other than hedge funds are also not well paid
In Brazil, the top firms typically hire people from Insper, FGV, Ibmec, USP, and ITA. Graduating from a targeted European school is obviously advantageous, but they might not hire you because they may think you're not strong enough to work in Brazil's competitive industry, given that you have never lived here. Brazil has its own unique environment, and only those who know it truly understand it. Also the best job opportunities at the top banks, boutiques, and funds are not advertised on common job platforms. They are generally advertised in colleges or within closed groups. Man don’t be afraid of all these information, maybe you can get a great job here, but it’s not easy
