Has anyone here landed an Investment Banking role without having completed an IB internship beforehand? I'd love to hear how you prepared! Thanks

Nobody has responded to this question yet.
Depends on the Geo and the market condition; given where buyouts/M&As are at the moment, we are unfortunately in a Employer Market (i.e. they hold the power).
I have not see frequent moves into IB without a previous IB internship. Given the plethora of M&A advisors out there, most Tier 1-3 banks expect/appreciate demonstrating interest through having completed an internship beforehand.
Surely there are fringe cases when you have certain logos/names on your CV (e.g. moving from MBB full time to IB full time or moving to IB with previous PE internships).
