I see MBA as a "buy-in" required to enter the world of corporate America (at an associate level).
Not at all. The best thing a new/junior associate can do is listen to their analysts. They will teach you and save your ass, big time.
So then if you had the two years of prior analyst experience, then you'll kick much more ass as an associate i take it?
This makes no sense. You wouldn't go to bschool to become an associate, you would just go the a-to-a route... Why would you take 2 years off and fall behind your peers to get a job you are already qualified to do. Career limiting move.
I see the MBA as an expensive co-ed fraternity
bahhaahahahahahahahaa aha ahaha hahahahaha bahahahhahaaahahhaha... Ask a 1st Year Analyst this question and see the response you get.
Bschool associates are usually less productive and valuable than Summer Analysts when the first start.
