How to land an Internship/ FT role

Hi everyone! I'll be pursuing a Master's in Finance at a top UK university this year (class of 2024/2025). Being an international student from India, navigating the London finance market feels like a whole new world. Unlike India's campus recruitment system, London requires a proactive approach. To hit the ground running, I'd love some insights from you all:

How does the London job market works for finance professionals

What are the essential things I should focus on before applying? (Visa sponsorship, networking tips, industry knowledge?)

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
