Lateral pre-MBA from consulting to ib

I am wondering if anyone has examples or thoughts of a possible lateral from M/B/B analyst w/ 2 years exp to an IB (specifically lev fin) analyst program.

Would you be expected to already have hard skills relative to finance (ie: modeling, valuation, excel mastery) or would you be brought along like a campus-hire analyst?

Recognize could go from consulting to MBA to associate at i-bank, but would like to hear about this option, as well...

Appreciate it!

What level of position

What level of position you're aiming for?
Analyst 2 is granted of course, but as for Analyst 3, you have to be very well prepared, as your rivals are Ibankers from smaller banks/boutiques with more relevant experience.
