Rate my CV [FICC Sales] + Finance in Brazil/other countries discussion

Hi everyone, hope you are all doing well!

TL;DR: I'm in Brazil, non-finance major, have 9 months 'after college experience' including trading desk experience, and would like to break into institutional (corporate/private) FICC sales. I would like your input into rating my CV. I created two: one for sending to HR/applying for jobs online (bullet points, straight to the point), and one for sending to MDs/Higher ups (which has more depth, and tells a story) -  I know some but am holding out on the networking bit for now (reviewing my CV before sending out, etc).

PS: CPA-20 is the license you need to obtain to trade OTC products in Brazil.

Context: I am Brazilian and for now am looking for a job in Sao Paulo/Rio (despite also having an EU passport), due to already being inserted in the workforce. I mention the EU passport, because maybe I should look for FICC sales in Europe, or no?

I'm a polisci major having graduated from Boston College, and ended up in finance kind of randomly, by applying to a mentorship program at Citi, which culminated in an internship at their office in NY, where I worked with trade finance/corporate banking. Though I couldn't accept the return offer for visa reasons, I was glad to go back to Brazil, and got a summer internship at a fixed income asset - which was itself inside a local bank. 

As the summer internship was ending, I got an offer to be a sales/trader trainee at the bank's fixed income retail desk. However, my mentor left after 1,5 months and my boss told me to take his seat, and I became a fixed income sales trader pretty early, covering all clients  (by clients, I mean the desk clients, which are our bankers - from retail to private). It was pretty intense having a terminal and trading/talking to clients this early, definitely a steep learning curve, but man it's AWESOME.

However, finance in Brazil is very retail heavy, and since the bank I'm working at is restructuring the fixed income distribution division, my desk facing sales/trader role (of which I'm currently the only one) will be no more, and I am being "promoted" to an "investor", which is basically the advisor to the financial advisors. This shift, which will occur in a couple of months, has triggered my "exit plan", as I want to pursue a desk facing, institutional sales role, especially in FICC and agency trading (I'm not a fan of prop trading, for now at least). 

However, not only is S&T in general shrinking, but the institutional market in Brazil is pretty lean - not that many private banks and corporate desks with heavy volume. It's dominated by a few players (Deutsche, BNP, Itau, BTG, Bradesco, BoFA, JPM, GS), and job postings are extremely rare - usually people break in as interns (which I couldn't, since I was studying abroad), or through very specific recommendations - like my case. It also doesn't help that Brazil is very relationship driven, so finding a job is almost 100% networking, yet it's harder to cold call since our culture has a different approach to relationships than in the US.

Thus, I am starting to network, and created these two CVs. The rationale is that one is for HR people who will glance at them for 15s, and the other is focused on storytelling, and contains depth, for MDs and seniors I have the opportunity to meet. I welcome all feedback, from the formatting to courses you recommend I take or books to read, or maybe even looking into different asset classes.

If you guys also have any other tips for networking and breaking into a lean market, especially after having graduated from college, I will read and pay a lot of attention, or even if you recommend something else - I'm "all ears" here.

I also invite everyone here to ask me about how working in finance is in Brazil, or discuss different experiences. I particularly find it interesting how roles across finance in the US feel "institutional" whereas in Brazil there's a clear cut difference between retail and institutional, the former being similar to the wolf of wall street (think "advisors" pushing structured products and junk bonds) - whether you're at the product structuring (IB, Assets, FI Distribution), desk, or tech end. I, for example, cover my bankers so the tickets are smaller, the focus is on high yield bonds, and vanilla products, but I want something more complex, especially if it's in a 'gringo' bank because then I'll one day have the opportunity to travel for work, which is high on my list of priorities despite it sounding silly. Retail has a lot of potential in Brazil, don't get me wrong, just look at XP (huge brokerage firm), but it's not my vibe.

PS: I know VBA is missing in my CV, I'm already setting aside 1 hour everyday to learn how to vibecode at least. Also, formatting is a bit off, I'm not lazy, it's just kind of late and I have to wake up 5 am tomorrow.
Also, CVs here aren't one page like in the US (though I think one-pagers are wayyyyy cleaner).

All the best,
KT
