Cambridge Associates? Exits?

Hey guys,

I might be transferring to a school that is a strong target for CA. I know there's better options out there but their Investment Analyst role seems like a great gig to start in full time if S&T/ER/Valuations/IBD doesn't work out.

Anyone have experience with these guys and can talk about what the work is actually like? Exits? MBA placements? What position is the "best" to go for out of their entry level positions (they have investment performance analyst, investment consultant associate, etc.)?

What I know: -Seems like B-school opps are really nice. Can anyone confirm or elaborate on why? -Work is very mixed in review. Some say it's very involving others say it's back office wearing lingerie
