Hey guys, I was wondering if someone could tell me how top MBA schools (HBS/Wharton/NYU Stern) value FO IB experience at a BB (think HSBC/Barclays) if I want my exit opps to be in PE/VC (open to PE MF in India also)? The IB analyst position is in Dubai.

A few items to note:
Hey! Thanks for your response. I was wondering if you'd be able to comment more specifically since the position is based out of Dubai-how they view IB experience in the Middle East.
That may work in your favor given its uniqueness. Remember the admission teams expect higher standardized test scores for certain cohorts of applicants, especially Indian applicants. I'm not opining on fairness--just looking to provide as much detail as possible. We are talking GMAT scores of 750+, especially if you're a male applicant.
guys would love to hear more on this
hsbc is NOT a BB
yeah it's not i'm sorry bout that. would anyone know how easy/hard it is to get a FT offer for IB Analyst positions in Dubai thru a contact? at the above mentioned banks. any info on recruiting process will be of help!

You can get into a good school if you apply broadly and ace every other part of the application. BB experience in Dubai is still competitive. Include CBS, Booth, and one other.
