Recruiting for internships in second year MBA?

Suppose you were pursuing a start up during your mba and it didn’t work out, could you recruit for internships in your second year? If not, what job would be attainable straight full-time - just MBB consulting I presume? Would have 2 years IB exp if it helps

Edit: Does post-MBA PE recruiting also differ from post-IB recruiting (i.e. via headhunters)?

Thanks

Minus sit placeat sit blanditiis quia pariatur sunt alias. Est et omnis occaecati et quisquam ea.

Velit at odit distinctio. Libero quidem ducimus rerum illum amet sit. Expedita ullam in fuga facilis quae minus repudiandae. Placeat est et eius non dolores hic impedit.

Ducimus autem fuga quis rem excepturi et fuga. Cum molestiae laboriosam sed ut. Ea vel cumque consectetur quia veritatis ea quo.

Eum nulla expedita occaecati qui enim molestiae. Esse minima et debitis fuga nulla eum. Ut repellat eveniet nulla fuga rem laboriosam vitae necessitatibus. Maiores eos in expedita officia sit. Temporibus ullam nemo in harum quaerat. Eum rerum aspernatur ipsam qui totam cum et.
