New here - anyone know how feasible it is to lateral from an RX advisory shop (consulting) to an analyst role in IB? 1 YOE
Graduated from a respectable west coast school (cal/ucla/usc), but worried that 3.2gpa takes me out of the running at all. Strong leadership, extracurriculars in college & interview landed me the current gig
Any advice appreciated
