The major banking sector is in sydney, but I’m in melbourne. There are a lot of finance companies and most are boutique which is harder to get into as they require people with experience. you have to go in able to do the job as there is little training and they expect you to hit the ground running. CFA is nearly essential to getting into boutique jobs. larger firms you may have to start in a feeder role and work your way into an analyst, mgmt or research role which is where I would aim if I were you.
