Toronto — PE to IB

Just graduated from a semi-target — currently an analyst at a PE firm that has new-grad opportunities (think CPP/OTPP). Recruited for IB SA during school but struck out (didn't understand importance of technicals, by the time I got this PE interview I was technically ready but IB interviews were over).

Is it still possible to get looks from B5 banks for FT?
