I'm in the same position. From what I have been told we are pretty SOL if thats the only experience we have.

Ive looked at studying for my CFA or going to get my MBA and switch to IB. My 2 cents.

It is what it is
 

I'm currently studying for my CFA as well and plan to go into bschool. I've seen some people leave to MM lev fin and have heard of hf opps but I'm not sure if these are the exceptions rather than the norm..

 

I have heard of a few going to lev fin. Most the analysts I work with end up going to get their MBA or become loan officers.

It is what it is
 

is a top bschool a probable option for someone with this background (experience alone; not taking into account ugrad, gmat scores, volunteering)? I really have no data points here
