I noticed a trend among quite a few people that I know who work for < 2 years at top firms (ie M/B/B, or IB@BB) and they move on to the non-profit sector. Is there any reason for this? One person I know said he was tired of the IB lifestyle and wanted to do something a little more fullfilling.

This trend is definitely real; my suspicion is that these individuals want a simpler life, fewer hours and less stress. That is my experience anyways. Great post, I look forward to hearing others input.

This is a definite trend. I would estimate that over 75% of the people we advise who work in investment banking look towards their MBA degree as a means of transitioning to a new, non-fiannce career. Most of the people we speak to say (a) lifestyle issues, (b) lack of innovation/creativity and (c) rigid/regulatory environment as the main issues for this change. Also, almost all of these people did not enjoy their experience at all and would not recommend investment banking analyst programs to their younger peers.
