I only knew of a couple that quit without anything lined up. If anyone quit early, it was usually because they had secured a new job. I would approximate maybe 85% of the class finished at least 2 years?
80% of my class stayed for at least two years. Everyone who quit early had another job lined up. One guy got fired a little over a year in but that was a complete anomaly.
If you don't mind, would you be able to share generally what he did to get fired? Was it just bad performance or is was it something royally stupid like fucking the MD's daughter (someone I know did that).
Awful attitude and performance. Smart guy but super weird and lazy. Dude would sit around all day doing nothing, leave whenever he wanted, get into arguments with associates, abandon first year analysts that he was double staffed with, etc. I have no idea how he got a return offer to begin with.
One guy in my class went to CranBrook, a private school. An associate asked him, what's the matter dog, you embarassed? Moments later, he left and never came back.
Wait lol the analyst left or the associate?
