How to get into Asian REPE or RE IB while coming from Europe?

Hey guys,

Will be pursuing a Masters in Real Estate Finance at Cambridge next year (MPhil REF), after which I would like to go to Asia to commence my career. I will have 2 M&A internships at globally renowned firms (T2 bank & Big 4), one in lev. finance at a local renowned bank and I would like to use these experiences, combined with my Cambridge degree, to find a job in Asia in REPE / RE IB.

Do any of you know how I can best approach this desire to move and work to Asia? Anything I can already work on prior to enrolling in Cambridge that will enhance my odds of landing there?

Cheers guys, really appreciate any answers!
