Getting into IB as an associate - worth it?
I go to law school, and had the option of being a summer associate at either a top tier IB or MBB , and chose MBB , but given that people seem pretty stressed (especially given travel) and worked at MBB as well (and given it pays quite a bit lower) am wondering if I made the right move.

Not cut out for IB?
Long-time reader. So serious question, but I know I'll get a lot of flak for this. I'm starting to think maybe I don't have the drive/personality to be in IB . I started college with no motivation or desire to do well in school. So I didn't, and my grades represented that. But then something...

Given that you go to a good school, why not go directly to PE instead of IBD first?
Let's say you go to an Ivy League or a top 10 MBA program - if you're in that position, why don't more people pursue PE right out of college? My logic is that there are fewer students in top schools than there are PE firms, whether they be large PE firms or boutiques. I just hear a lot of - you have...
