Just an intern, but it seems like your options are either do IB for two years which will be challenging and then go growth VC or wtvr it was you wanted, or work in ops/IR for a few years, hope to get into a good MBA program, spend $250k and then hopefully get the job you actually want. It seems to me you have much better chances at a much lower cost to just put in your time doing IB and exiting. Just my 2 cents.
