I feel like everyone on this forum talks about how hellish the hours are at the junior level and how even though more and more banks are doing A2A promotions, only a handful of analysts actually take them.
I'm really curious to hear why people get an MBA and decide to do IB. The hours will be better at the associate level compared to the analyst level, but that arguement is valid to say why not just stay as an A2A promo? What do post-MBA individuals have that lead them to follow the IB hours and workstyle and what do the analysts have that encourage them to recruit towards PE / VC / HF and leave IB?
The hours in IB are quite brutal regardless of the level (except perhaps MD). Are post-MBA associates content with working those while trying to start a family / raise one? Why are analysts not okay with making that committment?
Bump
There's just a slightly higher chance of an MBA committing to banking as a career than with undergrads. Lots of supporting commentary but that's the basic conclusion.
