I just moved to the UK recently with a Holiday Maker visa. I'm a part qualified CPA (finishing my final paper this year) with about 6 years of working experience in Australia in financial and management accounting, HR functions and a little bit of IT support in a not for profit organisation. I was thinking to venture into banking sector for career change. What are the chances of me getting a job in the banking sector? And what role should I be looking at (since I don't have any banking experience)? The salary range I should aim for? Thank you.

It is possible for a candidate with no banking experience to move into the financial services sector, the types of roles would be financial/management reporting due to the candidate having no product knowledge. In terms of salary range, I would expect someone with this level of experience to earn between £22 and £26 per hour, although without seeing the CV I can’t guarantee this.
If you haven't already sent in your CV, please do so and we will be more than happy to see if we can help you further.
Good luck.

This is now called the Institute of financial services(ifs)but have not practiced Banking since!Early this year, I decided to pursue a career in taxation and subsequently enrolled with BBP to help realise my goals.Iam currently studying BTAX and Accounting principles and will be writing my first exams in Nov.2007.What are my chances of getting practical experience while I study for the ATT? Or do you think I should complete the course first before I apply for Jobs? Your guidance and advise will be most appreciated.Many thanks.S T Suleiman

I am British citizen with an engineering qualification (B.E) from Bombay. In total I have 9 years of industry experience. I have worked in private and public sector IT projects in England as an IT consultant (System Analyst) for about 6.5 years.After completing my post graduate course in education (PGCE) from a university in London, I am working as an ICT teacher in secondary school/sixth form college in London from last 2.5 years. I am currently doing my part time MBA from a business school in London. I intend to get into management consultancy once my course is over. Based on your experience I want to know my prospects in getting a job in management consultancy sector. What kind of roles should I look for and the salary range I should expect or aim?
Anticipating your kind reply.
Thanks& Regards,

Hello
I am currently working at an advertising agency and have spent the last 11 years working in sales and negotiation roles for various media owners in the advertising industry.
What are the chances of me being able to get back into banking (e.g. a back office role in an investment bank)? I'm 34 and I used to work for Bank of America many moons ago (1992/1993) but realise this experience is slightly out of date to say the least.
Any help of general advice would be greatly appreciated.
