I planned on completing an IB internship in 2020, but unfortunately it was canceled. I graduated without any IB experience. Recently I accepted a fellowship at a VC firm in California. I’m keeping an open mind about it but I know I ultimately want to work in IB. Is there any advice on how to break into the industry without proper IB experience?
