I am looking for an entry level position in banking, I have no banking experience, just a year dealing with PPI complaints. I also went to a non--Russell university. I was thinking about applying for compliance positions but should I get a relevant qualification before applying? Also I have heard of positions like CDO, are these entry positions? Also why I am here, do you think London will still be a financial hub now we have left Europe.

Look into GS Merchant Banking or CVP Restructuring Group. You should be able to get in no sweat and it’s very much “entry level”.

I'll bite-- the vast majority of entry level positions at banks are going to be "xxx analyst." Analyst is generally shorthand for entry level although there are exceptions especially in equity research.
I think London has peaked and will not be a major finance hub within a few years-- just look at European share trading volume, Amsterdam already handles higher volume than London post January Brexit enactment.
