Upward Mobility

I'm really interested in a long-term career in IB (transitioning from Analyst > Associate > VP > MD etc.).

I'm starting to think about junior summer recruiting, and I want to know which banks will be best given my career goals?

For example, I heard the majority of analysts at Lazard leave after 2 years, while Goldman hires with the intent to keep you and grow you through the ranks.

Please rank some of the banks that you know are best / worse at upward mobility. OR Please provide any feedback on a specific bank that you know about.

Labore delectus temporibus expedita eum. Sapiente modi reprehenderit adipisci rerum. Officiis provident qui deleniti sit.

Minima deserunt consequatur inventore. Aut et maiores eveniet dolorem magni odit. Dolor harum sed esse aliquam rem.
