Sweet topic. My question: how can a US citizen obtain a finance gig in Brazil?Thanks for answering questions.
my god this topic has been beat to death. learn portuguese, no portuguese=no job. and not half-ass portuguese you need to have near fluency.
popozao
My question is: How about those big asses down there? This isn't so much a question as a remark, but you are free to answer it.
I have always wanted to bang a hot Brazilian woman... just sayin'.
How is the finance in Rio and other cities other than Sao Paulo? I would guess that most of the investment banking stuff is done in SP, but are there still opportunities in "sexier" cities? PE and HF stuff counts too, like Gavea investimentos.
As mentioned above you MUST speak fluent Portuguese to work there. I lived in a smaller city in Brazil for 5 months (Florianopolis aka heaven) and it seems that the finance related jobs in that area were wealth management along with some tech companies. All the rich people down there seemed to be real estate developers/investors.
Hello
I am from Brazil as well, but do not study in a target university. What would be your advise to overcome this? Do you think getting a Msc Finance in Europe or Usa would help? Thanks
study in another country and come back, because competition is really tough nowadays...
who said Rio has no finance jobs???? Lots of deal-making occurs there...BTG PACTUAL is headquartered there and many money-managers also have offices there...I know weath management and PE are strong there
Actually Pactual's IBD team is based in São Paulo. Not sure if they have a team in Rio. I know some ER analysts sit there as well as MO/BO guys. I am also from Brazil and I am an Industrial Engineer with a high chance of having studied in the same University as you did.
look for Flavia Alessandra, Deborah Secco on google...they have appeared in playboy if you want to know...seriously hot!!!!!
How about doing a MSc Finance in Brazil, is it worth doing it if you want to work in Latin America or will it hurt you when applying to other regions?
it might hurt your chances when applying to other regions Walkeer...
I would not recommend it unless you have excellent contacts here....
to any brazilians in this forum...Why is it that when I say I work in trading in Sao Paulo people assume i am a ''capitalist pig''???? It angers me a lot when even people who are close to me assume I am just a greedy motherfucker, even though I earn less than most millionaires here in Sao Paulo who made their fortunes with political contacts...there seems to be bigger hate towards finace in brazil than in other places
I don't get much of that... maybe it's because 90% of my friends are also in finance. But hatred towards people in finance has grown a lot around the globe, not just in the US...
I think a lot of this could be bc “Faria Lima” in São Paulo supported the current government in the election… and let's say that we are seeing today that it was not a good choice
todo mundo detesta 'finance' hoj em dia não só paulistanas...
^^ it's worse than in nyc? i haven't lived in brazil for some time now.
it's not hatred...more like ignorance and dismain...
Fellow Brazilians, I need your assistance. I want to learn a thing or two about Brazil's economic growth and development, and am currently in search of books (in english). Please recommend me a few books discussing Brazil's economy, politics, market, growth, etc. Thanks in advance!
