How many of you think you can make MD one day? Why or why not? Personally, I don’t think I have the passion or the endurance to make it that far.

I couldn’t agree more!

It's crazy how much my perspective on this has changed. 5 years ago I wanted nothing more than to be MD. But then I got married, and had a kid, and now I am doing everything to figure out my next career move. It's depressing to watch these guys live these soul-less money-driven lives

Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.
