<p>Thanks for the reply cbreeze,</p>
<p>So basically unless I have some networking contacts already my best bet is to use alumni/networking resources from a top B-School? Because I do have some contacts at top IM firms here in Canada but they are large national firms with billions instead of trillions like with the large global firms that I was mentioning before.
That being said would it be worthwhile working here at a national firm and gaining reputation before trying to get into a global firm or will I just be wasting my time?</p>
<p>Also, which would you recommend besides the obvious (HBS, Wharton, Stanford) for IM recruitment if I decide to go the MBA route? </p>
<p>Thanks again.</p>
