Duke IB is really strong apparently, but it Duke students who are non Diversity or Nepo unfortunately suffers the most out of any school I’ve found. Many friends work at Nomurw, Santander, Lincoln international, or Solomon partners, or they LITERALLY couldn’t break into IB, S&T, or even ER I’m NOT ONLY NY but Chicago. Yes some Duke grads lost Charlotte to wake, UNC, Vandy, UVA diversity.

Non-nepo/nondiverse Dartmouth ppl suffer as well.
I actually go to Dartmouth. I would say Duke has it a bit worse. I know people say regions don’t matter and all all, but people think Vandy suffers from being in the south - well so does Duke. Not in the sense that jobs will min but more in the sense that there aren’t as many opportunities right in front of ur face. Tbh I think Dartmouth non nepo is not nearly as bad as Duke non
wut year are u. I might've ran into u at DIPP.
went to duke with no connections at all to the industry, still placed at an EB. Wanted to provide a contrarian take as I felt my friends and I placed well even despite having no one we knew within high finance
Were u in any premier finance clubs (I’m forgetting the name off top but you know what I mean)
No, like I actually got rejected from investment club for example a couple times. I just did my own thing with internships cuz I hated a lot of the orgs on campus (like Scale and Coin)
Duke kids dont get hired in chicago because no one wants NYC rejects.
Duke places so many people a year. You need to network really hard. It’s very competitive, but there are certain alumni who if you get them on the phone will fight extremely hard to get you a job at BBs or EBs. (I went to Duke and work at a BB)
