FT Shot UK

Hi all,

This is my first post in WSO but I have been following the forum for some years.

I am currently doing an internship in corporate development in an M&A active company/sector and have had prior internships in capital markets at a European bank. I come from a target school in continental Europe (semi-target in London) and have good grades (for the UK would be between 2:1 and first class).

I have never considered going to London, but I am starting to see that my FT opportunities in continental Europe are quite limited due to language barriers. I would like to know if my profile would be sufficient to find something there and if it is not too late as I am graduating soon and would not be eligible for a SA role anymore!

Many thanks!
