I'd appreciate if someone could educate me on this as I'm not very aware. Why do bankers tend to leave after two years to go into PE? Yes, I understand that it may pay much more but are there any reasons besides this. Like why would someone leave a prestigious place like GS to go work in PE? Any insights much appreciated.
