Associate at a BB Bank

If you are an analyst at a top bank (think MS, JPM) and get the promotion to associate, are there any opportunities if you don't want to stay in the field? That is will it be possible to move to another job (other than corp dev)? Or is an MBA needed for a career switch?

Thoughts?

Thanks.
