Because they don’t want to? You don’t need an MBA to move up in IB, and anyway most IB analysts just want to do the job for two years then head to the buy side. Some people will eventually do an MBA after two years of PE, since a lot of PE firms still value an MBA (from HSW).

How can one transition from a Visual/graphic designer in marketing to a product designer? And what’s it like being a product designer w a visual design background?

What courses, or resources do you have to make that jump? Can my portfolio have made up projects for this? I feel like I’m starting all over in design school! Haha.
