I just graduated with an MBA and going into Tech? Is pursuing a IB associate role a dead opp?

Hey Guys

I just graduated in May from an MBA program ranked in the 20-25 range. I did a part time internship spring semester of my first year at an investment bank and spent my summer at a financial services company. I got a full time job offer for a tech company. I wanted to still pursue IB but I know it will be hard to land an associate role working full-time in tech. Is it even possible? What do you recommend? Some coaching companies are saying they can get me a gig but I think they are just saying that to get my money. Thanks.
