Greetings All

Hey WSO, I am currently an accounting junior at a non-target state school in New York. I am currently interning for large financial services firm at their local office nearby my school. I have so far landed an interview for an internship at KPMG which I will be attending next month. My goal is to land a job as an associate at a Big 4 and work my a** off for five years or so and then go to a top 10 MBA program to break into IB. Any advice would be appreciated and I hope to get to know some of you as I progress on my journey. Thanks!
