Late recruitment advice

2nd sem junior currently. Transferred from T25 to an ivy. Wasn't fully interested in IB / finance during sophomore year so I missed recruitment cycle. Any advice on where to go from here would be appreciated, as far as if it is even possible to break into IB from here.

Will be hard. Likely analysts classes for the next two years are full / filling as we speak. Either lateral 12-18 months into another finance or consulting job or come in as an MBA associate (also requires working a couple years).

 

Never to late for anything, just means your path will be different.

Agree with first comment, if you want BB / EB MBA would be best bet *from what I’ve heard*

 

Quia earum atque cupiditate accusamus. Qui dignissimos distinctio dignissimos et ea. Quis ducimus pariatur qui ipsam nihil minus vel. Iusto aut recusandae voluptates.

Quasi et reiciendis consequuntur doloremque laboriosam. In hic illum repellendus consequatur tempore repellat. Labore facere molestiae ut id. Inventore quia temporibus vel aut expedita.
