Banking a Year out of School

So I've been out of school for a year now. Wasn't able to land a banking job right out of school and have been in a sales role since graduating. I wanted to see what your guys' thoughts were on breaking into the industry a year out of school..

do you have prior internship experiences?...without it nearly impossible, with it and some solid networking could very well happen I just would not count on a BB or top tier MM i'd look more boutique.

its one way or the other: hate me or admire.
