I graduated with a degree in Finance. I was wondering what sort of IT Consultancy work could I get? How much of a hinderance would a lack of an IT related degree be?

It will be Zero Problem for you.I can remember a certain well-known IT outfit interviewing English Literature, History and Sociology students for what basically boiled down to being programmer roles (despite the fancy 'Executive' job titles). These big companies seem to take any sort of liberal arts student for even the most hardcore techy roles. How on earth they haven't gone out of business with that kind of recruitment style I'll never know. I guess they sell projects where the deliverable is to make recommendations about how the software makes their staff feel, or some other similar fuzzy kind of rubbish, whilst a handful of people who can actually program work like dogs in the background.

The IT outfit I mentioned is one of the biggest names in the game.I have found that many of the big companies are the same. Particularly the ones with the glossy advertising and big adverts in prime locations.Your finance degree will not hold you back at all.

Just join Accenture. No matter what your background is and what you say you want to work with they will say "Yes, nice. Thats exactly what you would be doing if you join us". Then one year later you realise that you by "coincidence" became good at testing or developing or whatever tech-role they put you in. Its really cool. Try it out.
