Graduating Class of 25 Job Market
Doing a smell test on the job market right now. Wondering for those of you that go to Ivy or rigorously adjacent schools, what percentage of your class is still looking for jobs post-grad or is pivoting to grad school? Really curious here
Based on the most helpful WSO content, the job market for recent graduates, especially in finance, has been challenging in certain periods, particularly during economic downturns. Historically, top-tier schools like Ivies or their equivalents have seen a significant portion of their graduating classes secure jobs or pivot to graduate school when the market tightens. For example, during the 2008-2010 financial crisis, many graduates struggled to secure roles in high finance and opted for adjacent roles, grad school, or even career pivots.
If you're part of the Class of 2025, the current job market's competitiveness will likely depend on economic conditions closer to your graduation date. However, trends suggest that the top-performing and well-connected students from elite schools still tend to secure roles in investment banking, private equity, or consulting, while others may explore grad school or alternative career paths.
