Law grad into IB

Hi guys !

I am sure some of you asked questions like this in the forum. But it appears to me that there are major difference when it comes to UK or US Market.

How can a get a summer analyst position in the UK/Germany, after Graduating 2021 since most vaccines are just open to final years student. Which strategy would you apply to get a foot into IB - or do you think I have better chances as FT

I graduated from Law school (Germany) in December 2021 and after working in serval M&A law firms I want to pivot / start my career in IB. After grad I was co-founding a start up and now I am working at the EU commission on capital markets matter.

Thanks guys !!
