This ultimately depends on when the application opened. I managed to last year, but the process was informal with no official opening. So, it is possible, but very rare as recruitment usually finishes up by the end of December.
I want your suggestion. As my uni is not a UK target school, because of which HR might filter it out even before it gets reviewed by a banker (correct me if I'm mistaken), do you think it is a good idea to move the work experience to the top and move education to a lower part of the CV in order to make my banking experience the first thing that is seen on the CV? Or is it safer to stick to the conventional format of listing the education first. This is the full CV
