Percentage of Analysts / Associates who remain in IB until VP/MD

As you know origination (read: getting deals) is the key differentiator with a senior vs junior banker and it's stressful AF. Is there any data on how many analysts/ associates actually stay in IB and not exit and eventually get to VP/MD?
