New in WSO look for advice preparation for IB/FA positions

Hi there,

I worked in consulting and unicorn tech firms in past 4 years in Spain, Netherlands, and China. I took my master's in business/coding and now want to work as an IBer/FA. I enroll in modeling courses and want to start from financial statements to modeling. My target working place is Amsterdam or Singapore (preferred).

Any suggestion on career/learning/life/whatever would be highly appreciated!!

Cheers
