What do exit opps from the post MBA IB Associate role look like? I understand that PE is much more difficult at this level and am trying to gauge what the benefits are (outside of money) for going IB after an MBA

Post-MBA IB gets a bad rap (partially deserved) for being the place where people who couldn’t get into PE go to. You can exit to just about anywhere in the finance world, but it does get a bit harder the more senior you are.
