whats next? internships + start up experience + F500 company Finance (hopefully)
I'll make it easy to follow:
Have 3 summer internships under my belt; 1 at a no name boutique and 2 at international banks. (Corporate Banking & Capital Markets)
DECEMBER 2014: Graduated in Econ from a semi target. Already had a job offer lined up with Discover but offer was rescinded last minute.
MAY 2014: Ended up finding a start up related to real estate. Legitimate business - making profit.
DECEMBER 2015: Now, I sort of want to just take my piece of the company and dip into a finance career, which is what I have always wanted. I am personally quite interested in Capital Markets and S&T, but would be open to exploring other Front Office roles as well.
QUESTIONS:
Since I have been out of school for a year, I know my chances of getting into the Analyst program are pretty slim (of course they are not zero, but quite slim). What are some of the other FO roles I might have a shot at?
Last resort, I would also be happy starting out in Finance at a F500 company, but what sort of roles should I be looking into if my end goal is to get into a BB after a year or so? I know credit analyst and financial analyst wouldn't really 'help' me. What about corporate finance roles?
Any other options I should be considering, I am considering an MBA, but that's quite a few years down the line.
Looking forward to any input. Thanks WSO community!
Anyone?

1 more banana to Senior Chimp, here it goes then.
I guess i'll keep talking to myself until someone replies
'You motha----ers, ima put cases on all you bi--hes! You'll be flipping burgers at burger king when i'm done with ya'll'
You really have a shot at anything as long as you network and interview well. No one here has a secret formula. You went to a semi-target, use your network and start reaching out to alums. You're already at a significant advantage compared to non-targets with zero internships and no network.
Thanks for replying and for the encouraging words! Having said that, what kind of position should I go for if I want to move towards S&T, IB FO in a year or so?
