Not too dissimilar from other banking opportunities. That said retention at associate level and up is pretty good, so it’s not like there’s a ton of data. Still, most common exits are other banks (coverage or m&a) or fp&a. Have seen relatively few leave for buyside, but it can happen. Just to elaborate, buyside opportunities could be to distress, but data is too limited to say that anything is “common.”

Generally speaking though, true lateral exits to a fund are often tough (so you have to potentially go to a smaller shop or take a seniority hit). most mba associates don’t have buyside experience, so it’s hard to argue that you’re any more qualified than an analyst.
