Black women made the career switch from corporate America to entrepreneurship during Covid-19. While it appears entrepreneurship was deemed a necessity, Black women were the largest group of new business owners closely followed by Latina women. These businesses have high growth potential but why is access to finding still a barrier?
Share your thoughts on why.

So many threads posted about this already throughout the internet. You either get an MBA or you network your way into a lower tier middle market firm willing to take chances on hires who don’t fit the mold
You should consider starting at Deloitte's valuation group. Send people internal messages and try to get involved in valuation projects so you can get some modelling done. Once you have valuation then you can maybe try networking with IB within Deloitte and network with people outside the industry.
With some valuation experience you'd be able to leverage the Deloitte name when networking and interviewing.
It’s pretty fooked mate. The MSF is only helpful if you graduated out of it to an IB/banking role (in the realm of what you want, but difficult to do if not from a major school and it seems you’ve already graduated & began work elsewhere). Now it’s crazy tough, the only way is potentially leveraging skills you possess from your current/prior roles into a specific group that needs a specific skillset for a set of deals, like bringing CPA knowledge for accounting standards/modeling on a deal and then somehow making enough of a claim to stay after. It’s really difficult to lateral into when out of school. Maybe go back for an MBA if you can accelerate it and attend a top 10 school
Also the hours are very terrible, people often comment that they’re fine with it but it wears ya down terribly over a 2-3 year period
Doesn’t Deloitte have an IB group? maybe start internally. I’m in banking but not IB, but I feel like it’s really all connections to get in. The resume and acing interviews obviously need to be there, but at the end of the day it’s mostly who you know and do you fit into the team bc you will be spending a lot of time together.

Move to an office that does. That’ll be the easiest way for someone to take a chance on you.
In some countries (Canada, UK, others in Europe) internal transfers is one of the main hiring paths for B4 M&A (assuming you’re in audit)
Thanks for the answers! Unfortunately, getting an MBA from a top 10 university is a bit (a lot) out of my budget.
Where I live IB is not really a widespread career and I didn't/don't have resources to network.

Gonna be tuff
my advice: continue asking this question in different threads until you hear a suitably optimistic answer
It’s a hard industry to break into. A lot of them want fresh young minds that haven’t had any experience at all. It’s all about who you know but everyone and their brother is trying to get into IB. Good luck
