Recruiters for IB? Or am I SOL
I've been working to break into IBD for some time now. My firm sponsored my MBA and while I finished up I networked within my BB firm to move into a group internally from AM.
In short: I have public school, non-target background, part-time MBA and I've found breaking in without OCR extremely difficult. I've interviewed within my firm but only on the one-off opportunities that get posted. My main short-coming is the lack of direct IB experience despite having 10 years of finance/accounting experience. Interviewing in an environment where so much talent is available has held me back in each of my attempts thus far.
My question is: Are there recruiters specifically for IB and would they take on my case given that I'm not an easy sell? Anyone know of any other avenues I should take? I made it to final rounds in 3 opportunities so I feel like I'm on the cusp.
