If you are willing to let go of your return offer to IB, then totally feasible but with the risk you will strike out at MBB of course. However, MBB looks positively on top-tier BB experience.

Contrary to what others in this thread are saying, you should be able to recruit for MBB for FT without losing your return offer.

Simply ask your school's MBB recruiter to move up or speed up your process. This happens every year for IB students.

Furthermore, many schools now have mandates for internship return offers - i.e. the earliest deadline of a return offer has to be X date. Check if your school has these rules, firms need to follow them or risk being barred from recruiting on campus in the future.
