Hello,
I was wondering how much luck people at top schools (top 7 US, LBS, INSEAD) are having for trying to break into finance from a non-finance background? I know that this difficulty level changes drastically depending on the economy and how the finance industry is doing, but I'm specifically interested in leaning about people's recruiting experiences from 2012-2013, and especially for the summer associate internship position at bulge bracket firms.
Most of my pre-MBA experience has been at a boutique strategy consulting firm, and I'm debating whether to start my MBA next year or wait another year to try to break into finance. I will have most likely passed my CFA Level 2 before next fall and have a very high GMAT score, and I believe that I have strong interpersonal skills. Thanks!
