Applying to Investment Banking after Medical School

Hi,

I graduated medical school in Europe in October 2020. However, I didnt pursue anything in medicine and dont intend to. During med school I also started studying economics and I am planing to finish my economics degree in 2023.

I am interested in working in finance. I am looking to apply to internship or straight to an analyst role. The only experience I have in banking is in the technology department, in software.

Should I apply to internship for summer 2023 or to analyst roles?

Should I finish my economics degree or just apply since I already have my MD?

Should I mention my medical degree in my application or dont mention and put only the economics, since medical is unrelated? Since I already finished the medical in 2020, do I apply to internships or analyst?
