Getting a toe in the door

Hey everyone,

I just came accross this site online and thought I would ask since there seems to be an abundant number of people in the industry in this forumn.

do you have any advice for someone who went into fund accounting out of undergrad that would like to try an get into Ibanking...seems like it would be close to impossible, especially in this job market.

Or since I am considering the MBA, would my best bet be to get an MBA from a school thats is ibanking heavy and try to get a role going that route..only concern is that i would have no banking experiance pre-mba, would that put me at a disadvantage when i apply for internships/jobs?

any advice would be much appreciated

Thanks guys
