So that whenever people feel like quitting there's more $$/rank to "stick it out a little longer"

Because all the good talent jumps ship for better jobs and firms need to promote from within to fill the holes

Because you are expected to learn quick and provide increasing value. You either move up and get promoted or you get pushed out. Best case you get stuck at a level with flat comp.

Any consultant here who has worked at Citadel or knows someone who is working at Citadel? A recruiter from there reached out to me today, and I got the sense that the culture there is more intense compared to consulting. How would you compare Citadel vs MBB on the below points:

a) Culture
b) Diversity (I am an international student and a person of color, and my sense is that Citadel is not as international)
c) Comp trajectory

Thanks!
