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)

 

Eos ut recusandae quasi sint iste alias. Excepturi eius aperiam esse officia eum aut enim. Voluptatem molestiae necessitatibus eum.

Recusandae et placeat temporibus consequatur sit. Aut error quo aut consequatur voluptatum. Et voluptatum incidunt id. Totam ab qui et aut molestiae neque omnis. In placeat rerum dignissimos tempore omnis cum qui. Est sunt illo corrupti eaque.

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