Break into Lev Fin as a Graduate

Hiya everybody,

I will be graduating soon and have a Corporate Banking internship lined up for the summer at a large Canadian IB in London. With prior experience within boutique M&A and Fund Raising, combined with a Corporate Banking internship, some ideas on how to best break into Lev Fin would be much appreciated.

Suggestions regarding essential technicals/competencies to learn, how to best leverage prior experience, companies to target etc are all welcome.

Many thanks
