i see, thanks for the advice. it's gonna be a gamble as i'm sure you'd agree. if i have a top US undergrad degree, is it possible to break in without going for an MBA? i'm told that BBs have a very structured recruiting program so if i'm not in school, the only way to land an interview is to have someone you know in a BB push your resume.

these said, it also depends on ur luck. plus i doubt the sign on will be as lucrative now.
good luck
