By networking

Who said that lol? Networking just helps you to get a referral. You need good cv/skills to join these firms, and can directly apply on LinkedIn or other job portals

Do you MBA from a tier 1 B School. In case you don't crack MBB or PE or VC firms, there are high chances an Alumn from your college or your friend will be in a similar role, to which he/she can refer you.
