any MF that doesn't kick out associates after two years?

I've done some research on LinkedIn and realized that most MF will kick you out after your 2 years as an associate. They want you to go to business school then either rehire you or you lateral/startup/HF/leave finance. I want to stay in PE in the long run but don't want to do business school. Is there any MF shop that doesn't kick people out?
