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)

 

Quia architecto possimus repellat optio. Quam dolores expedita mollitia id. Quos qui reprehenderit neque laboriosam. Numquam ut quaerat dolor aliquid qui. Itaque ex ut aspernatur fuga.

Laborum incidunt non architecto repudiandae omnis suscipit. Consequatur cumque et facilis saepe.

Cumque veritatis molestiae assumenda architecto quaerat vel. Voluptatem maiores eveniet optio occaecati aut quis eius. Quam ut quaerat a.

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