Notes:

I'm a recent graduate (22M) from a Tier 1 engineering institute in India with a T15 deferred MBA admit, but I plan to apply to M7 schools again (I got 4 M7 interview invites, including S, but no admits) after 2/3 years, and I was wondering what I should do in the workspace to improve my profile.

I think the major thing that could've gotten me dinged is that I wrote about wanting to get into VC without having an IB experience. Currently, I work at an SME FinTech firm and am looking at IB roles, but I haven't been very successful. Any tips would be appreciated.
