Pre- MBA Associate Exit Opps

Hello fellow monkeys,

There are a lot of threads in regards to exit opps as a Post- MBA associate. However, there is very limited data on the exit opps as a A -> A direct promote. I have an offer for full time analyst position at a decent MM firm (IBD), but I have no idea what I want to do in the future. I have been laser focused on getting my foot in the banking world and haven't given much thought on what I wanted to do beyond that. I know for certain I want to do banking for at least 2 years, but if I decided to do a third year or get promoted, what are my exit opportunities as an Associate?

Thanks.
