Banking to Consulting

Hi all,

I've been working at top BB for the past year and realized that this industry isn't for me, both in terms of the lifestyle and the actual work that I'm doing. I've always been interested in strategy/operations so I've recently been considering making the jump to management consulting. I was wondering if it's possible to lateral to a top MC firm at this point or whether I would need to get an MBA to have a realistic chance with top firms.

Thanks,
