Long time lurker here. I want to know how I can break into West Coast IBD. I just recently got accepted into a top 5 MAcc program on scholarship and have an internship with a top mid tier accounting firm (think BDO/GT). I graduated early with a 3.5+ in a social science from a non-target top 40 school. I understand the traditional route would be to transition from Big 4 FDD, however, I believe that it might be possible to break into IBD immediately. I broke into accounting as a social science major before being accepted into a graduate program, which gives me hope that my networking skills might be enough. What next steps should I take?
