This is a pretty solid take, not sure what the ms is all about.
UG and MBA IB recruiting are apples and oranges. No offense to anyone here, but in my previous role as an analyst it was pretty obvious our post-MBA associates were almost always second-tier candidates from their respective schools (often showing up with inflated sense of self, no previous finance experience or technical skills, etc.). It wouldn't surprise me at all to hear that top MBAs self select out and turn down offers from GS/MS for something with similar long-term upside and better lifestyle in the interim. UG recruiting really is, as others have said, the entry point for the best and brightest to access PE recruiting. Have never once spoken to an analyst who went into banking as a serious long-term career - although some do end up changing their minds along the way.
