This is how i got in, my degree was totally irrelevant to banking but i accepted a 3 month contract to remediate some admin stuffs. Slogged like crazy and completed all the remediation in less than a month. As there are 2 months left, i was helping the team with their BAU stuffs. Someone resigned within the 2 months and i was the no brainer choice to take over in a permanent capacity.
