Hi All, recently received an offer for Amazon’s financial analyst program. Have internships in B4 Audit, AM, Infra PE and Private Credit (no return offer because of headcount issues) and a MFin from a low/semi target. Is it possible to go to IB from here, if not what exits ops are open to me?

I'm sorry, but it looks like this may be out of my ability to answer... maybe some of the links above might help?
It would be very unlikely in my opinion, unless you go through a top MBA.
Also, you may join different teams that do different things as a financial analyst and that can affect your exits, but generally speaking you can look at roles related to corporate finance and FP&A.
I have interned at Amazon in a Finance team and now joining a BB - PM me if you want, I'd be curious to ask a few questions
For context I’m likely joining the CAPEX team so I’m expecting at least a decent amount of modelling. I’m also based in London but moving to one of Amazon’s European offices so frankly I don’t see the value of a MBA here since recruiting for IBD at the MBA level isn’t structured like it is in the US.
Thank you for your response btw!
