Why Alabama is a Target School
The University of Alabama barely gets mentioned on this forum but it is a target school that competes with the best. The average salary of those weighing over 200 lbs is $177,000. This is double of the the average starting salaries at Wharton, Harvard, and Stanford. In addition, there are several kids that I know that are getting top gigs paying over a $1 million this year. These are types of jobs that kids at Ivies only dream about getting. These top employers show up every week to Alabama’s campus to try to wow the students, while students at NYU can’t even get a networking call. These top employers routinely take 15-20 kids per year from Alabama because of the school’s extensive history of developing top talent. Comparatively, there might be 1 MIT kid working in the back office doing some data analysis that clients will never even see. All these points clearly show that Alabama is a top target and we should now refer to the top tier as HYPWA.
I heard that kid Jerry Jeudy had offers from PJT RSSG, MS M&A, GS TMT, etc. What a beast.
The typical path is Harvard --> GS TMT --> KKR ---> HBS ---> KKR post MBA associate ---> NFL but this guy is one of the few lucky enough to get into a real target like 'Bama and went straight to NFL
Keep in mind that these kids literally destroy themselves with their work/life balance. Many of them develop brain damage from how hard they work, and life expectancy is not high.
African studies? Seriously?
Well, usually it's Communications. Perfect segway into GS TMT, in my opinion.
You're missing the point. For a team comprised primarily of African American students, it's odd, and perhaps racially insensitive, to assume that the players are majoring in African Studies, even when one anonymously hides behind their computer. In the case of the SEC, "business and related majors" and "sport/recreation management or administration" are by far and away the most common majors. The top 5 are rounded out by "communication and/or journalism," "kinesiology and exercise sciences," and "general studies."
Of the 14 teams in the SEC, African Studies is the top major at Florida. Nowhere else. At Alabama? Business. Maybe the original post didn't intend to convey racism, but you need to be more aware, my man.
I think you are forgetting about LSU. They have one guy this year who is a top talent, and is going to clear over 30 million in the next 4 years. He's not going to a top shop (the worst according to last years league tables), but a lot people are saying this years class from LSU is star studded.
I disagree. That firm might not be a top shop, but I'd argue last year was an anomaly. They had nearly two decades of solid leadership and it was just some bad timing on restructuring that they fell so hard in the league tables. Usually, I'd consider them competitive, but I do think that super star analyst from LSU is going to be a huge rain man for them.
Even under old management, they seemed only to be a middling shop. They were never able to close on that #1 position frequently choking in Q4. I agree with you that this Rx and the new rainmaker could set them up to rise in the league tables in the coming years.
Hmmm.....Can you give me some top shops to think?

The best firms that recruit there all have terrible work/life balance and general quality of life though. Duke and Kentucky are the real top targets.
If she bleeds it's still school colors. Roll Tide!
