There’s been a lot posted on the subject for analyst but not associates.
Are you better off going to a Bb or mm post-mba? Will exit ops differ in any way? Do the hours vary? Can anyone share their experience?

Bump
Depends on what you want - ‘better’ is subjective.
Yes - hours differ but they aren’t good at either option. Likely to have all-nighters at both. On average MM works fewer hours and more flexible schedule. But varies by bank and by group
Exit opps differ - but argument can be made that MM provides additional exit options for post-mba associates via PE portco exits.

What was different about each and what did you enjoy more?
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but personally preferred MM. Found the engagements to be more interesting and clients actually need your advice. Often BB feels like the banker is just there for a rubber stamp, the corp dev team at large public companies are filled with ex bankers - so there is minimal additional need to help below the MD-relationship. The industry coverage model at BBs can be soul crushing if there isnt strong deal flow. Also more client interaction at junior levels at MM.
MM has its own drawbacks, though. The smaller the client, the less sophisticated, and there may be a heavy lift to support the management team / get clean data / etc. Also - probably not going to be on the front page of WSJ.
