What do Post-MBA IB Associates Do?

Hey all,

I've seen a lot of posts about people not needing finance experience getting into IB from top business schools.

How do these Associates manage analysts if they've never had that experience? What are the duties and roles assigned to a post-mba associate? I'm assuming it's different and more client based vs. managing analysts, but it'd be nice to know what Post-MBA associates do without prior experience. Is it two different jobs (Promoted Associate vs. MBA Associate)

I've searched previous threads but there isn't anything directly breaking this down

Thanks ahead!
