LinkedIn seems to show that past Centerview employees mostly become lifetime bankers (sometimes at other banks), with a few others going into investing / founding their own startups. A handful goes to business school. What do Centerview people do after working there? Do they ever leave???

Retire at 45 with $10m+ liquid in the bank and a handful more in investments. Rolling in the cash.
Jokes aside, many stay there because 1) they work on cool shit, 2) they get paid extremely well and 3) do not work terrible hours relative to other banks and can sustain that for a while. If you're smart / frugal with the money you make there, you can retire at 40 and live very well after that (even just by doing the occasional advisory project with ex-colleagues etc.).
Hours are not as rosy as you make them out to be. Look at Cvp is paradise threads and others. Common knowledge they pay well but people get grinded hard. They don’t even have protected weekends.

Lmao why are you dickriding cvp? The post title is indeed satire but an actual employee did a legit long ass writeup about the firm (this persons sentiment was almost certainly not satire).
It’s an absolute sweatshop over there. What’re u talking about, consultant ?
None of my personal connections who started there even made it to associate, including a couple guys who we all really thought would be career bankers. Apparently they just work you too hard. Most of the guys I know went to asset managers, one to growth equity, none to PE actually.
Bump on this. Also curious
