So, my fiance' and I are currently living in NYC, but she just about cries every day about wanting to move back to Michigan. I was planning on starting my MBA this fall at Fordham, but it's possible to move back at anytime.
My question though, what are the job prospects like in Michigan? I haven't actually searched for a banking job in Michigan since the end of 2011 so I don't know what it will be like. I know there isn't too much going on there compared to NYC, but because of that I feel like the competition wouldn't be as crazy. I can't imagine that there is a line up of Ivy leagues trying to get into a firm in Michigan.
I did a search of "michigan" and basically all I got was pages of threads talking about UofM.
Hey! i'm from metro-Detroit and you got it right, there's barely any banks out here. Your best bet will be boutiques..there are a few in Birmingham. i know of a few:
Quarton Partners Angle Advisors Stephens Mid-States Capital Huron Capital Siebert Brandford Shank
You can just google it and do a parallel check on linkedin. It's tough out here, i'm sure if you have the right banking experience you will have a good chance. Other than that, you could always work for Ford or GM. I know a lot of ex-bankers that did that and are happy. I believe Ford's treasury program is great and GM's strategy team as well and both prefer banking backgrounds. Most bankers are Ross grads that wanted to stay here, I guess. There's also a few in Grand Rapids or something but not sure.
what city are you planning to move to?
Why the fuck would anyone want to move back there if they have a finance focus?
If you are going to move, try and find something on the Western side. It's not a shithole like Detriot.
Plenty of Public Finance IB going on in Michigan. Look into Fifth Third, Comerica, Stifel, Siebert, Baird, PNC, Hutchinson. Most of the BBs do business in MI but are usually covered by their out of state offices (Chicago or NYC, usually).
