Tuck IB Career Switch

Hi everyone,

I have 3 YoE in Consulting and I'm aiming to make a career switch to Investment Banking through an MBA at Tuck. I don't have finance experience, and as an international I believe that we can only aim for BB (because MM are hareder to get Visas), so I would like to know how feasible do you think it is. 

I'm aware that in the employment reports Tuck has a good placement in IB, but you never get to know how many aimed to get those jobs and failed to do so. 

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks!

Would focus on HC groups at the bulge bracket banks given background/visa needs. The visa is definitely a roadblock, but its not insurmountable if you are an otherwise good candidate. Sadly, it probably depends on your personality/fit but I would think you would have a pretty high shot of landing a role assuming you follow all the steps and are a reasonably cool guy/gal.
