If you want to do banking, then yeah. If you want to do not banking, then no.

Mind. Blown.

Just watch Industry on HBO before accepting the offer

Depends on the caliber of the bank - can be a great resume builder if it’s a well-regarded BB / boutique then it can definitely open doors. The crushing work hours cannot be overstated so really make sure you can hang, and also be aware that MBA associates with no finance experience are the least-liked people on any desk
