Title said it all.
Interested in IBD but stupidly made the mistake of not applying to it at the mid-level BB....BUT am more inclined to go to the tier-two BB for the name.

BB- work for a year or two- network internally- hopefully someone will give you a referral and then you can get in. Another option is BB then MBA then get in as an associate. Either way, the BB will look better than Big 4 accounting firms (IMO)
As a former Big4 employee, go with the corp banking role... Will pay much better and will also probably be just as easy (if not more so) to lateral to IB.
any insights on how deal flow was like at the Big4?
