MBA Hires - 2011

Wharton has 1700 students! I honestly don't think the data there is complete. How did Citi not get a single Wharton grad? It's analyst class has a bunch of Wharton kids, so their relationship with Wharton seems pretty strong.

No, the data isn't complete. It uses data released by the schools from the firms who hire the most students. Thus, schools sending one or two kids off to a company aren't included in the dataset as of this time. The data is conservative and is used to show the big relationships between certain companies and certain schools.

one word: diversification..you can't constantly focus on placing into financial services given the state of the market and short term recovery..these schools need to maintain their graduation employment rates..look at booth too..it's ramped up marketing and is placing more into product manager/brand manager roles..kellogg's actually done a pretty decent job in diversifying, though is still consulting/marketing/finance core heavy..but they're trying to diversify across those core 3 too

tuck hired 4 GS people while tuck is 1/3 the size of some of the other schools.. lol

wow actually tuck crushed a lot of these other schools on hiring ratios. jesus. im glad i sent my app in now lol

Interesting. Wharton and columbia absolutely destroy booth when it came to goldman hiring, even when adjusted for class size. Just a small sample of course, but it somehow confirms what other booth students have told me about the dire state of finance hiring at their school.

Yeah, definitely take these numbers with a grain of salt. I got a list of schools that WFs hired associates from in 2011 and there are some 'gaps'. The list shows they hired someone from every school listed except Kellogg and Tuck. The list came from a buddy at WF who got if from HR.

What kind of jobs do mba-grads take at places like Amazon, Google, MSFT? I assume some are product management-type roles and perhaps strategy roles. Anyone have any more insight on other types of jobs at these (or similiar) places?

They said they havent filled out Te list since not all schools have reported :)

Yah, just to be clear, the data is from schools which reported the top ten companies to hire from that particular school. So places taking only a handful of candidates aren't represented. Still, it is useful to see the which schools are the biggest feeders to some of the biggest companies.

no i know i wasnt bashing on tuck at all just more so impressed.. ive heard from all the people at the school things like 'goldman sends8 people to talk at tuck and 5 people show up to talk to them' or other various things but overall ive heard you are VERY hands on with everyone and everything that happens at the school.
