RT. I’m curious about MBA students that went for IB, do you regret choosing this path over consulting or Tech? Where did you exit to?

interested to hear as well.
graduated last spring and been an associate on the desk for 9 months. There’s definitely a steep learning curve so you should be prepared to be humbled. I still think it’s possible to go into tech. Personally, banking provides a lot of optionality. very few jobs where you have access to senior management as 29 year old. there’s a lot of admin tasks or ppt work but every job has this. have considered exiting after 2-4 years and trying to get into PE. very difficult and will require significant networking. overall happy with my decision as I know it won’t last forever.
