Haven't seen many alum from there. Would think people would need to network really hard while being at the top of their class to have a good chance
From their website, it looks like they feed the most into these groups: J.P. Morgan Chase, Robert W. Baird, General Mills, Goldman Sachs, Rothschild, Procter & Gamble, MorningStar, BMO Financial Group
The most common job titles students receive from there include:
- Financial Analyst
- IB Analyst
- Financial planner
- Trader
- Credit analyst
- Risk management analyst

These are just the most common places that recruit from the school, but surely they place kids into other companies as well
While on-campus recruiting is still limited to banks like BMO and Rothschild, UW's presence continues to grow. '24 SAs had placements at banks like GS, MS, HL, BoA, Deutsche, Guggenheim, etc. While not at the level of UMich or Northwestern just yet, if you work hard, you'll get looks from most banks.
Seems like a handful do, and people who find jobs at other places usually do so through networking and some luck
