How many people go into banking post-mba with the plan to make a few bucks, build a resume, and get out? They always say you are a "banker for life" post-mba, but there must be some percentage of people that leave and/or plan to leave after a few years?
Which brings me to my second, related question. How are most people filtered out of banks? Obviously not all associates end up as MDs... Do they quit? Fired? What % actually makes it to the top?
Thanks.
