How to Break into TMT Banking from Non-CS Major

If a student comes from a finance/accounting/economics major in undergrad and wants to seek a position in an investment bank's TMT group, what would be recommended to prepare for the sector to compete against computer science/engineering majors who may be applying? Would anyone recommend learning specific languages? I appreciate all the advice
