some hard truth....
for bigger investment banks like barclays, Deutsche Bank, etc.....connection is very important.......if you have friends inside that can act as referrals when an opening is available, that is the best chance.
Either that or internship (although I'm not sure how you can get in the internship in the first place).
I was in Deutsche Bank doing their IT from 2007-2008 and although different field as banking/finance, their hiring criteria is the same........been through a few interviews for Barclays and also BNP Paribas but the role is not something I want to do so now ended in a much smaller investment trading bank (Standard Merchant Bank, the commodity trading arm of South Africa's Standard Bank Group)...but i digress...
