Analysts, what are your experiences working with post MBA associates and how often do you end up delegating and driving work instead?

They should be paid less than A2A promotes. A second year analyst is worth 3 MBA associates during their first 3 months on the team.

Not a post-MBA associate, but I tend to disagree 100% with IB1. I understand why it may seem frustrating, but keep in mind that there is a learning curve when anyone starts a new job, so obviously second year analysts will be more effective those first few months. They however will catch up very quickly and already have years of experience coming in. Once they’re settled in, they absolutely are much more valuable.

Looking for some guidance or similar experience. I have 3 years of experience in the health care industry (1 year clinical, 2 years admin). I have my MBA with an emphasis in health care admin. I’m struggling to grow my career or find a higher level position. I have applied to various positions within my area and just can’t seem to get an offer. Should I consider changing industries or what can I do to stand out? More certifications? Additional schooling?

Hey! I've always wanted to get into IB (prestige, money, you name it), however now that I'm in a more laid back environment (better WLB, "easier work") it doesn't seem as attractive as before and the pay is quite good for an analyst level (I think the pay is competitive even comparing with IB's pay in my country) . I wanted to know if anyone had the same experience and what were your thoughts (pursue an MBA and leave your comfort zone and "good pay" or just stick with it). TIA!
