He was referring to i-banking right out of undergrand.

You must've failed at the reading comprehension in b-school.



Syringer,
Don't be a prick. This whole conversation is about post-MBA comps.

You obviously don't know how to play the game. ;)

Here's a lesson for you: You work different camps to get your package bumped up. If you're highly desired, it isn't difficult to do.

Seriously - the flag just went up higher. Sure you hedge your bets of getting a job - but all banks pay similar to an entering associate class.
I have no idea where you are getting the concept of 'playing the bank' for your package as if you are the bomb.

And according to vault.com there are no banks that pay > $200k for first year associates out of an MBA program..

I am not trying to be a troll. I am asking a serious question. If you don't have an answer - don't call me a troll.

At least I personally don't know of any entering associates into the industry that negotiated their package. You would seriously be the first person I know of that was able to do that.
