Starting MSc at LSE, Can I break into IB right after it?

Hi everybody,

I'm Italian and I'm 25 years old. I’m about to start the MSc Accounting, Organisations and Institutions at LSE in September. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with the highest grade from an unknown university in Italy. I took two gap years before my bachelor’s degree and one after. In the last year, I worked at UniCredit bank as a brach consultant for 6 months and that is my only relevant experience (is it relevant?).
Taking into account my personal situation, could break into IB right after my master’s degree at LSE?
