I hope that you actually learned how to do some real work in that "Management" degree of yours. To get into banking you have to have a ripper CV and good networking skills. If you're networking skills are fantastic, you can still get into banking with a crap CV, but it is very hard to break into banking with poor networking skills and a ripper CV.

If you are good at working with stats and numbers and you can put together excellent presentations then you could possibly wrangle a job as a junior analyst at a small IB. You have no chance unless have those skills though, plenty of good analysts to choose from and no need to hire useless management majors.
