Subject says it all - is 2 years enough, for Canada, to go into MBA and then break into IBD?
The usual path for the US is 2+2 but in Canada I am hearing that the MBAs typically have a few more years of experience, around 3-4, before going to school. Being 24, I would be the youngest in my MBA class, apparently. Is this true?
Appreciate any feedback, both US and Cdn

Nowhere in the US is 2 years typical...averages are closer to 4-6 years work experience at top schools.
I was under the impression 2+2 was the merry ol path for IB. Would you say that this is no longer the case?
Are you talking about IB 2 years, PE 2 years (2+2). 2+2+2 (IB ->PE->MBA)
Depends on where you worked for two years and what you did. 2 years at McKinsey, for example, is prob sufficient all else equal...
2+2 = 2 years pre MBA work experience, 2 years actually doing the MBA full time
background is credit adjudication for the last 2 years, since may 2010 undergrad graduation. Not IB, but not totally unrelated either, at least its finance.
for the record, I was accepted to the top 2 canadian targets for MBA, but just not sure whether I should defer for an extra year of work XP, or just go now
