A few notes on this article:

* It seems a bit crazy to me to have a newly minted MBA jump into a CEO role. Of course, this is not unprecedented with the search fund model (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_fund) but those are MBA grads from top 5 schools (and mostly just Stanford MBA grads)--very different from your average MBA grad * The top 5 MBA grad can expect to make on the order of $20-50M over the span of a career with a Mck/Bain/BCG role. Yes there is a limited number of people who make it to the top, but tbh that is much more due to people wanting to leave for other career paths than it is a weeding out.
