Found the MBB guy
one of the worst posts on this forum and that's saying something
Lol what mouthbreather takes a job at Plaid or Figma over Jane Street
This didn't age well.
Haha took my comment
Shut up.
Trash tier lol
Idk about swe/other finance but ibd and college rankings are pretty accurate. I’d personally put duke on the same tier as Dartmouth, and swap pjt and evercore unless if its pjt rx.
swap MIT and Wharton
swap Evercore and Centerview
remove Silver Lake from Tier 2
swap Figma and Jane Street
swap Facebook and Optiver
add ICPC WF to Tier 2 other
remove AIME
Other than that, pretty accurate- Nice work.
How can you swap W when it still consistently has some of the best if not the best placement? I’m open to the thought but without reasoning I’m not so sure…
Yeah Wharton hands down has the best placement.... MIT places much less in finance
Summa cum laude in Gender Studies at HYPSM is equivalent to ranking among the top 25 undergraduates in math in the country? You must be really fucking stupid
This is so toxic. You’re going to be miserable in life if this is what you think about. Because no one else outside of a very small circle of 22 year olds care.
Moelis has more prestige than Goldman? Right lol
have u heard of Stern...
bet this guy gets laid a lot lmfao
Would definitely throw Georgetown up there of the undergrad list
.
What was their reasoning for choosing it over those schools?
Centerview up more tier 0 tier SS+
