Maybe it's because I'm a non-target UG --> Army --> Tech startup --> Boutique IB --> non-target MBA idiot, but what the hell do people do after they've done the gone through the coveted (sarcasm + jealousy) track and then go to an M7 B school? Do they start their own businesses? If so, why spend the money on MBA when they could use it to fund ~2 years of burn. Do they want to jump ship to another buy-side offer but can't get out of their current gig without burning bridges? Do they not know what they want to do next? Genuinely curious because this world is foreign to me!
