Who else is exiting after their 2 year analyst stint?

Almost at the end of my 2 years as an analyst and I have zero desire to stay on as an associate. My plan is to collect my bonus and quit the day after it hits my bank account. I have a few interviews lined up for PE and corp dev. I can’t wait to quit.  For those who have done this, what factors should I consider?  Any advice appreciated.
