How do I get into a big finance/banking company in the City (London)?
Also, if I'm aiming for trade/finance/banking/M&A, what are the most desired professional qualifications to have? The equivalent of being a qualified lawyer in a law firm, for example.

The easiest way by far is with a job in IT
Whoops I also wanted to add banking compliance to the areas I'm interested in.

Funnily enough, I've always maintained I need to develop my IT skills and have a temp IT job with a pretty big company at the moment. Only issue is that im not top brass in terms of education for... reasons.

Several years as a financial analyst then some sort of masters, like an MBA or MSc in Finance and then get your CFA designation at some point during all of that. You'd want to come from a target school as well like LSE.
