How to break into IB

Hello!

I am 21 years old and wants to break into IB. The biggest issue is I have no education that will benefit me for IB. I have worked as a portfolio manager about 1 year with great returns for my investors, I also work with stock market analyst for another company. I love the ways IPO:s, evaluating companies ext, because that’s what most of my work is about.

Any tips on how to get a first “position” as a IB
