How do I get into finance again?

Long story short, intentionally vague to protect my identity:

  • I graduated from a UK target university around 2-3 years ago
  • I did an internship in a front office division (non-IBD) of a large US Bank after my second year in university, and worked there full time for 1-2 years after graduation
  • After that I switched gears and took an offer to work in consulting at McKinsey/Bain/BCG. I worked there for 1-2 years and recently left.

Currently looking to work in finance/IBD in London. What level of opportunity should I target?
