I’ll only have a BBA in Finance and I’ve heard it’s hard to get a job in investment banking without MBA so what’s a job I should get in the meantime that will be useful to the future career in investment banking or private equity?

If you’re a recent grad with high GPA and sometime a good school will help, many banks have “associate programs” that they will invest in you for 1 year to 1.5 years. I work at a large bank in Charlotte and they have such training programs. Salary is pretty good too!
Other than that maybe a “treasury analyst” or any where in the “fixed income trading” or “middle office analyst”
Good Luck!
These are great starts to a high paying career in Corporate Investment Banking!
A BBA in Finance teaches students a vast array of financial concepts.
You can get a job in any one of the following fields
Commercial Banking,Corporate Finance,Financial Planning, Insurance,Investment Banking,Money Management,Real Estate.
I do recruiting for an investment bank in NY. Investment banks recruit separately for undergraduates and MBAs, so you won’t be competing for the same jobs.
It is indeed challenging to get hired into an investment banking role. A summer internship in the area helps, but isn’t completely necessary. Any sort of work experience or even school activities like a student investment fund will generally help. But critically, you need to know the basics of financial statements, discounted cash flow analysis, etc. It also helps to study recent deals of investment banks and be able to talk about them. And be a team player — be prepared to give examples.
Good luck!
