Are you on associate level or they keep you as a senior analyst?
Have you heard about one year MBA programs out there?
Like Kellog's MBA one year program.
I'm seriously thinking about this one as I'm sick of all those exams, TOEFL, CPA, CMA, GMAT, what else? :)
Don't want to spend two golden years of my life on graduate school.......
Thnx for advice though.

You have to understand the prase IB is loosely thrown by everyone. Anyone who works for an investment bank considers themselves and investment banker, including the ops people! I do credit risk controlling. I look at exposres and positions the banks take with customers on genral banking products as well as positions in the market place with derivatives and securities and help asses the credit/issuer/country risk involved holding these instruments and make sure they are properly reflected in the financial statments. Its good I learn more about banking products and derivatives and you get into a large bank wher possiblities are endless.
To get into the big 5, I would just use headhunters and find partner names, send resumees directly to partners. Its always best to try and apply directly to the person you would be working for or hiring you. That how I got in, but I also got in at a very different time (90's stock bubble, no Enron/Worldcomm/Adelphia/AOL TIme Warner)
