I am an HBS guy who worked at Goldman and I am angry with Harvard because they really do not teach MBA finance at all. If you are smart in your first year, you will get to know the analysts well and use them for your benefit. Using what you have got is all you learn in B school. PS. I was shocked to find a lot of ex-analysts at Goldman who had made associate without the MBA (what a savings..) |

Where I work (equity research at a top bulge bracket), *45%* of analysts 1990-1998 become associates directly without going to B-school, 35% go to other jobs, and 20% to B-school. (Source: a handout the person who gave me my offer showed me, and which later appeared in our orientation material.) Of course, it all depends on whether you want to stay, whether the bank wants you to stay (though I've heard it said that if you like the job and are happy there the firm probably feels the same way about you; what do others think?), and whether there are associate slots open. I know 45% is extremely high, even compared to other divisions of my firm; how does this compare to other divisions at other banks?
