Is Undergrad Recruiting a Sucker’s Game Compared to MBA?
Every time I come to this platform or watch some high-finance related channel for information on IB there’s always an abundance of those talking about impossible work hours, unhealthy lifestyles, bad bosses, and a true rat-race recruiting scheme that guarantees nothing.
On the other hand, I hear that there’s an alternative process where one can supposedly do anything that’s prestigious and/or highly valuable for some time (perhaps even fulfilling), go to a top MBA school, and then come onto Wall St. a few years later as an associate with better hours, better pay, and a lot more life experience to support you. Supposedly anyway, I haven’t researched the matter.
One has to ask, is the analyst stint worth it if this is an option? To those who went through the MBA-associate process, how does it compare to the traditional route? And as someone who is not well positioned to succeed in the traditional route, would that be a better option, so long as I pursue something valuable like a lower level of finance (corpfin/real estate/b4advisory/etc.) or the military (intelligence?) for instance?
Least obvious giveadvisepls account. Dude, give it a rest. You forgot to delete this account too, after what you did, you’re permanently spotted.
I saw your edit. You’re caught.
I fixed some grammar and removed some formalities/run on sentences for easier reading. Not sure what this is about.
You the one who used ChatGPT to sniff him out?
Hey W.C ya I was, it was pretty straight forward tbh. It’s pretty easy to figure someone out amongst the more simpler options.
WallStreetOasis.com can you guys please fkn ban this guy?
We have removed some accounts and will continue to remove any other spam or low-quality accounts. But, we need to make sure first :)
What’s the context?
This isn’t giveadvicpls
people want to avoid MBA recruiting because joining a bank as an associate leaves you with much fewer opportunities vs as an analyst. But historically it could be seen as “easier” - a lot of the finance oriented people in top MBA’s have already done a stint in PE/banking/consulting and are trying to move up, not back to the sellside
Hard to obfuscate how you write. I've read enough shitposts to sniff him out
Look at the post history
MBA is better
