Going to BB IB/ER without IB/ER internship

Is it totally impossible to get into BB IB/ER with only PE, Big 4 Deal Advisory and management consulting internship?

It can be US and East Asia (i.e. Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Korea, Taiwan)

Yeah Finance Internship -> Summer IB Internship -> Fulltime IB is the most trodden path. Economy sucks rn and im sure there are a shit ton of laid off bankers right now trying to move around so itll be really hard to break in tbh.

Very true. I heard big 4 deal advisory is in worse situation though
