Starting in IB living in Europe

Hi, I'm new here and also to the field of IB and finance. I live in Europe and work in the field of IT as prosperous youn software engineer but would like to get into IB at some point. What would be the best path from IT to the world of IB?

What would you recommend I study and where (in Europe)?

What would be the best way to proceed afterwards?

Would love to hear your opinions on the matter.
