Appreciate any advice and steps you can all provide. TIA
Does ur part time MBA let you do OCR?
Good grades, decent exp.
Idk how part time MBAs work, but hopefully can use the brand name to network.
Have the profile, now chance is solely based on you.
You can get into EBs not just MMs if you have the technical skills/can interview well and network efficiently with senior folks.
Cast a wide net and keep hitting.
And you’re a woman, so def a plus. Might even get into GS/MS if you network effectively. I got referral's from a global head at GS and Sr MDs at EBs coming from a totally different field to MFin at 27 YO.
Bounded only by your own limitations, my friend.

You can def break into IB in the US. Tons of banks there - may not be Goldman or BBs/EBs but you can def break into IB. Start emailing MMs and look at other global boutiques. Also try BBs. You have a solid resume.
Why you gatekeeping? Breaking into BBs - if prepared on your part - is just having the ability to chat up the right person at the right time.
Sophomores giving shitty advice all the time.
Thank you for all your responses. This is the hope and encouragement I needed!
What's the comp progression like at b4 mgmt consulting? (base+bonus)
Sorry couldn't be helpful to your question
Thank you all for your advice! Happy to report I landed 3 offers. Accepted JPM!
Good fucking shit. Great fucking work love to see it.
Let’s GOOOO!!!
See, I told you that you could get into top BB/EB if prepped and networked right.
Congratulations!
