Getting a mid-low 2.1 in a very hard degree? Is my career over?

At a top target (Oxf/Cam/LSE) , doing a well-known hardest degree here (think Oxford Physics, Cambridge Engineering, LSE Maths) and going to graduate with a mid-low 2.1?

How much of a disadvantage am I to others who did easier degrees and got higher grades once I start in IBD and in future career events
