B-School - Common to take a FP&A job?

How common is it to get a job in investment banking after B-School without any investment banking experience?

Is it common to take a FP&A job...then somehow manage to seque into an I-banking role?

On a separate note: what are the most common jobs for B-School graduates to take immediately after graduating?

I am equally as interested in finding a way into management consulting as I am getting into investment banking...
