I'm not asking which career pays more, is more competitive, or has better exit opps; I'm merely wondering where the smartest students end up. I go to a tar get that, although it's very strong in the physical sciences, is not great for engineering/computer science, so my view is quite skewed since there's a disproportionate amount of people here going into IB. Perhaps people at other HYPSM/T10s can opine on this? Thank you.

I would do tech and wish I had the tech pay and lifestyle and work life balance, but I'm not good at coding/smart enough at computer science. I tried it, but I just couldn't do it without struggling (I didn't have enough problem solving skills) . So I took my talents to a hedge fund.
Neither, they start their own companies. The best examples are Mark Zuckerberg and Ryan Cohen, the advertising and retail geniuses of the millennial generation.
this is the real answer. The superstar students who have no idea what they want to do in life do IB or the kids who put in effort to learn coding go into tech. But self-motivated kids with tenacity and descent technical skills are going places.
