8. (If you do not do step 6 then it will be hard to get a graduate job), so do a masters at a target uni in a related course and apply for associate roles i'm guessing

One thing to amend, you don't go for associate/summer associate positions as a non-MBA masters student. It's literally just reapply to summer internships again.
An MBA will ofc, require 3-5+ years of work experience before you're qualified for the associate role (and ofc to actually get into an MBA program in the first place).
Pro-tip, amend the above post and save it in your notes then just copy-paste everytime someone asks - because believe me, you will get tired of repeating yourself + link them to the sticky posts I wrote up in the IB forum.

Most succinct answer I've seen, well done bro.

I didn't know you can apply to summer internships while doing a masters, so basically you get 2 shots at converting.
And okay will do, thanks loool.
So it's correct now?

You can only do a spring week if you have 2 years until you graduate (from the date you normally do SWs). So it would work for someone doing e.g. a 2 year masters with a 1 year placement wedged in between. But normal masters students would have to only go for a summer or grad role.
