EUROPE (ex UK): Anyone could find a finance/banking job without speaking local language in Europe? HELP!

Hi all, just wondering if there is anyone who doesn't speak local language as a foreigner could find a finance/banking job in Europe. E.g. a Japanese guy finished a master degree in Bocconi/HSG/SSE/whatever EU business school and found a finance/banking job in Germany after graduation (without speaking German).

Lets just assume someone is open to all kinds of finance/banking positions in EU but not only FO roles, which mostly require local languages when serving clients.

Also lets alone the UK as I don't think it's even possible for non-EU to look for jobs in the UK after studying in EU, not to mention a ton of EU guys who wanna work in London and Chinese guys who study Oxbridge/LSE/Imperial in the UK.
