im in miami trick!

always was curious about this -- anyone in south florida want to comment on what schools are most highly represented at funds/consulting shops down there? is it the MBA business schools">m7 or is it a lot of people from umiami (or whatever the best b school in the area is?)

mbavsmfinHIG capital is a baller PE fund in miami. Almost exclusively HBS grads. Founded by former bain capital guys.

They also hire Vandy undergrads, but it's an ok fund.

Leon Mayer (REPE) is founded by wharton grads and run by them for the most part. I think their analysts are from UMiami undergrad though. Miami b-school won't get you into PE/HF/IBD even at the local level.

IDK if there really is a major school that gets recruiting in south florida. You tend to see transplants from all over the place more than anything else imo. I think UM is probably the de facto school for IB just because so many pretentious douchebags end up at the school and seems like a lot of UF kids are way too disconnected.

Not to mention that the majority of Miami is spanish speaking and the UM kids are mostly rich cubans.

 

I'm a south Florida resident currently in community college. Where would be my best bet to transfer to then? Here I thought UF and UM were great schools, what I'm reading is quite concerning.

Its not like I could transfer to an ivy from a community college, ha! Or can I?
