In this fun episode, Dermot shares his 10 commandments for exactly what you need to do to secure your dream graduate role in banking, finance, and accounting in the ultra-competitive City of London. We explore why you should get a 2:1 or go home, why you shouldn't expect to rely on your ability as you apply for graduate jobs in the City, and why you might want to think again if you are planning on doing a master's degree.
