The Standard Wall Street Career Path Is Shifting Under Everyone's Feet

So you want to become a Wall Street master of the universe? Forget almost everything you know about how the ride to the top is supposed to go.

But say you've done all that. In fact, say you've even gotten a job offer at that big Wall Street bank.Then what?  Five or six years ago the road was pretty clear — a few years as an analyst, some time as an associate (or maybe a dip into the buy-side), a stint at business school and then a leap into the buy-side or a long career at the Wall Street bank of your choosing.  Not so anymore…..
