How is it that a list of the toughest companies for job seekers lists zero investment banks, but has a bunch of consulting firms and Teach for America?
For an industry with the average company giving offers to less than one percent of its applicants, according to Bloomberg LP, I find it hard to believe that not a single investment bank made the list below, by CNN Money. Especially, considering they have Teach for America on it and cite it as being incredibly difficult that "more than 50,000 applicants vied for less than 10,000 spots."
Here is the CNN Money list of toughest companies for job seekers. http://money.cnn.com/2013/08/09/pf/jobs/job-interviews/index.html?hpt=h…
WSO community thoughts?
Shhh. You can't put investment banks on there because Wall Street people are dumb. Finance is for cheaters; no way we could compete with TFA folk.
Everyone knows about this thing called "consulting" now that Snowden was in the public eye, so it would make sense to corroborate his "spy"-ness with showing how difficult it is to get into a consulting firm.
Apologies for sounding like a paranoid zerohedge commentator, but a lot of journalism is trash. This included.
50,000 applicants for 10,000 spots doesn't actually sound that bad. GS was something like 17,000 for 300.
