Is there any hope of breaking into REPE entry level?

For context, I have lots of experiences in internships I’ve done in college (corp finance, PM, BB IB), but no REPE. If I was interested and also prepared for REPE interviews, was there even a chance of getting the interview? Given I have no background in repe besides my own prep

In general, yes. It can be done and it will help that you already have the internships under your belt. Which market are you in? I have seen this quite frequently in London, no idea about the US.

You are looking for larger shops that have more formal team structures ideally, firms where you see that they have hired analysts. Smaller firms may also take someone, but it will be on a one-off or even opportunistic basis.
