It is a long and hard shot

Hi, there

I really enjoy reading different posts, especially those who have landed FT offer in finance. I am out of non-target school with degree in Finance, and have been working as business analyst for an environmental company, and the worse part is that I need sponsorship.

I have been reading posts, blogs, studying modeling, and networking, but so far nothing really clicks. I am just wondering what is the prospective for someone like me that require sponsorship to break into finance? are they still providing sponsorship?

Any comments or opinions is appreciated. Thank you.

April
