Networking is always a good idea. Business school is an awful one. Are you ok with eating seniority? 0 chance you join an ib team as a vp

^no way. I did law for a few years and came in as an associate 1.5. I’d rather dig ditches than be a 30yo analyst. glorified grade school math has a pretty steep learning curve...
