Non-Target to PE?

Hi all,

Hope all is well and appreciate anyone who contributes. 
 

I am a mega non-target, all the people from my school who are in PE/IB are MBAs.

according to LinkedIn I will be the only analyst to make it into IB from my school. As well, I transferred from community college to my state school and migrated from Europe, so I think my writing/speaking skills could use some work? Which I think might make me look less posh than my competition.
 

Worked a lot of shitty jobs to get by (think HolidayInn, UberEats, construction etc), just grinded out and hoped someone would notice my perseverance and give me a shot, which a Mid-Tier BB did. 
 

I was already denied a shot at a Tier 1.5/2 RX shop due to my school. When the MD took me out for dinner to discuss, he said other candidates had a better pedigree. I looked them up post the process, all of them went to Wharton pretty much. I lost my shit though when he said every MD loved speaking to me, and according to him I answered every technical correct, and got 2 technicals correct that none of the other kids did. But what does that matter when I grew up in a 30,000 peole town in buttfuck Europe where people do nothing and I learned what Wharton was when I was 22 and a junior out of community college? 
 

I am much more than flesh and blood, yet alone an institution on a paper.

My whole life I have been hustling and  always sniffing out opportunities. I learned what IB was at 4AM while reading Quora on my night shift, got the FT gig 9 months after reading that post on Quora. 
 

but what does that matter then when every HH and Partner will tell me to fuck off because I went to community college and a shitty state school. Always felt my pedigree was looked down upon by kids and other finance professionals from other elite schools.

but as David Goggins says: “they don’t know me son”, and these kids don’t know me. I am willing to work till my eyes bleed out from staring at a shitty deck and a 3 statement model. 
 

Sorry for the short rant there. I am still proud of what I have achieved and thank God every night for the position he gave me. 

I guess my bottom line is: do I have a chance at a top fund? Or just aim to try and lateral to MS/GS and try from there? Or go to corp dev or LMM? 

edit: I just want the best of the best for myself. My whole life was unconventional from the beginning and always felt the odd one out growing up. This country gave me a chance and I want to maximize that chance and the talents God gave me. I settled for less many times, and never plan on settling for less anymore. I hope this clarifies a little bit why I want this so bad.
