From Russian m&a A1 to London internship HOW TO?

Hi everybody!

I am currently working as A1 in Russian not sanctioned investment boutique. I am looking forward any opportunity to start career in London.

Therefore I am looking for a script or a piece of advice on “how to break in”.

I ran through a ton of topics, most of them mention masters degrees as the first and the best step. However, i am trying to find another way.

Could anybody present a case of successful russian analyst joining some mid-level boutique or higher? How should i start to successfully relocate and join IB and BB further?

Thanks a lot! Have a great day.
