Hey everyone. I was wondering what is the best background for someone to get an IB internship. Currently, I am entering my senior year in European Economic Studies in a non target university in Greece without having any internships. Is it best for me to jump into Accounting get some experience and then apply for an internship or get into an MSF from a semi target school like Cass, Warwick and RSM? What is your opinion?

Would suggest to work 1 year in accounting ---> MSF UK ---> IB London
Be careful on the timeline, you have to apply to the MSF in January.
Thank you very much for your reply! I would like to ask further if it is more helpful to stay in for 3 years take my ACA qualification and then try to break in as an analyst or an associate ?
