Hello and happy Easter to everyone!

I’m looking for feedback on my situation. I graduated in 2022 with a master’s in financial strategy and although I had experience through internships in M&A and fundraising, I chose to become a product manager in an AI start-up. This decision was a mistake for many reasons and now I wish I could find a job as an IB analyst or business analyst in London. I am French and would require visa sponsorship.
Do you think it is possible? Or am I delusional? Thanks!

Why not to apply for analyst graduate schemes that will open this summer? The problem might be your graduation date, that is 2022 because many banks are strict with graudation dates and grad schemes are for 23/24/25 grads at the moment. Do you already work in London? I don't work in IB but feel free to ping me

Can I ask for extra time at the firm to find a new job (so I wasn’t “fired”)? Or should I go for severance?
