Accepted a Big 4 position and have seen the light

Hi, I have accepted an auditing position at a Big 4 firm. I am graduating in a few months and reneging on my offer isnt an option. With that said, I think I have seen the light finally and investment banking will be in my future, if given the opportunity. Anyways, my question is:

How would I go about breaking into ibanking (MM or small boutique would be awesome) from the Big 4. Do I have to go back for an MBA and move in that way? I was hoping someone had a similar career path and would give me some tips.

Thanks!

 

Lots of smaller places hire analysts out of the big 4 with a year or 2 of experience. Start looking after you've been at the big 4 for about 6-9 months, but never hurts to begin networking now.

Hey, how's your art career going?
