I second Denzera’s point. That is why many first year MBA students without prior IBC experience try to secure one of the highly prized summer internship slots at IBC firms. I have seen known quite a few who did that and successfully transitioned into IBC post MBA. Quite frankly, that is one of the most popular reasons people pursue an top MBA. </p>
<p>As for the preceived advantage of IBC experience in b-school admission, I think the consensus here is debatable at best.</p>
