is it possible to switch field within ibank ?

Hi, everyone

I am very new to this forum and finance. Please forgive my ignorant .

Here is my situation, I graduated from a decent university with bachelor CS degree. I completed CFA level 1 and planning to to go for level 2. I do have some finance background but of course not as strong as those who graduated with finance/econ degree.

I may get a offer from an ibank in hong kong as a IT support analyst/programmer. However, I would really like to switch field for my career. I enjoy fiance more than programming. So, here is my question, is it possible to switch into finance department after I get the offer. Of course not immediately, but in the future. Will I get a higher chance to switch department ?

And one last question, what kind of entry job title I should look for if I really want to start off with a finance-related job and lead up to ibank ?

Thanks and regards !!

It's sad when 80% of your SBs come from just one person. Thanks UFO.

That's kind of weird that you don't make your own like the rest of us.
