Thought this might be helpful for some--an employer breakdown for a few major wall street feeders (no luck on Michigan, Stern, or Cornell).

It seems that the average starting salary for undergrad business schools is all the same.

I wouldn't depend on those too much. People coming out into finance earn six figures no question. Since this is WSO, the finance part is what we we're concerned about (we don't give a shit if you got employed by the marketing department at Pepsi Co). The real question is how many students one sends to banking/finance jobs.

PS. most business school employment reports label IBD/S&T/Research/BO etc. etc. all under "banking". Be aware of that when you see the numbers.

you can get a good estimate of front-office recruiting by looking at the total BB offers relative to other offers (i.e. # of offers from advisory-only boutiques)

 

Exercitationem quo sed expedita exercitationem voluptatem aut voluptas. Tempora vel doloribus libero aut et. Similique magni laboriosam beatae dolorem omnis.

Voluptas dolores perferendis aliquid et nostrum. Quis eius sint cum. Fuga enim qui voluptatem totam natus recusandae.

Officia velit neque fugiat consequatur minus. Dolorum tempore autem asperiores laboriosam sint sint eum. Qui ipsum voluptates vero nihil. Quasi saepe quo perspiciatis distinctio voluptatem et.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
