Tough to break in regardless of experience if you're trying to get into the DC HQ for either. Very limited number of positions and most of the people I know there are some combination of from outside the US, with a degree from a top 5 school in law or business, some sort of crazy philanthropic experience, or all three. The positions there are some of the most desirable around.

I've met people who went there after going to grad school for MPP. Forget what their experience was before the program though

Impossible Mission Force!?

World Bank recruited on campus at bschool heard the pay wasn’t as lucrative

Target the World Bank and the IFC rather than the IMF—unless you’re a PhD with really solid quant chops. Otherwise you may hit a career progression ceiling.

I am currently working for a city and have been with my current position for about a year. Work-life balance and colleagues are great. I came from private practice prior to my current position. There’s a strong demand for laterals now; and I am thinking about going back to private practice because current salary is substantially lower (about 40% lower) than what I can get in private practice. Has anyone here thought about going back to private practice for the salary boost?
