<p>Hi hmom5,
Thanks for the reply. For those in the M&A and Corp. Finance departments, have some of the strating Analysts came into those fields from other Management Counsulting firms, such as Mckinsey and the Boston Consulting Group? I have often learned that a few had gone into Management Consulting as Analysts for 2 years before deciding to work in M&A and Corp. Finance divisions of the respected investment banks for another 2 years before going to business school because they want to learn about both industries before moving on.</p>
