Looking for an old thread on why IB post business school

So I am in search of a thread that had multiple post MBA associates reflecting on why they chose IB, as well as where most of their associate class ended up a few years out. I've tried looking, but WSO has a terrible search function and the results are also clogged with an infinite number of "why get an MBA" and "why I hate my MBA associate" posts in the IB forum. So if anyone has that prior thread bookmarked somewhere (or just wants to weigh in with a fresh perspective) I would be very thankful.
