Can people from Ireland in investment banking in London share their stories

My last post was asking people for advice on how to become a BB analyst in London, (I’m from Ireland) as I’ve always been interested in this, and I received some great advice which will help me out a lot, so thanks to everyone who replied. I’m now wondering could people who work in IB in London tell me how they got there from where I am now. (I am 15 and in transition year)

I wouldn't worry too much at this point in your life. I know a few people from Ireland woking in BB´s and they tend to come from UCD, so that's probably a good uni to go to.

If you are open to studying in the UK some great options would be Oxbridge, LSE, Imperial, UCL, Warwick.. if you want to break in to IB. To be honest I think that the only thing that I would worry about if I were you is getting into a good uni
