I am curious to hear and I am sure others are as well. I am a 1st year IB analyst about 9 months in.Is there a lot to learn after the first year?Why not take the bonus and run to PE (if you get a good offer)?The learning curve is the steepest in the first year and if you have experience doing other things, what really is the benefit of the second year?Share your thoughts. Thanks monkeys!
