Don't call it 2008, but Effect on Graduate Jobs this Year?
What's the real outlook for 2011 recruiting for graduates? If the US/UK/Europe is not the place to be -- for any job--then where? I had a very depressing time with an offer pulled from a top 3 asset manager. This was 2008. Fast-forward 3 years--I off-cycled until I earned some lucky breaks (I've...

I know recently there are more than a few people asking about Canadian firms. I am wondering if the Canadian offices of big firms, say MBB , Monitor, OW hire international students studying in the US? Are there any Visa issues? How about the boutique ones? Do they hire internationals?

As my junior SA stint at a top U.S. bank draws to a close, I'm reflecting on where I was in January. At that point, I had a beautiful conditionally-formatted Excel of about 50 applications I had submitted, with preference indexes and all sorts of nerdy input into what I'd choose between the...

Post MBA Consuling Salary HELP!
Okay so I've been looking through several posts (both new and old) and I am pretty confused about MBB salaries. Pre MBA is rather consistent; somewhere between 70-85k directly out of undergrad.

NEED ADVICE - URGENT
Hey everybody, I am in a tough spot and need some advice. I was hired back in November '10 to a big4 advisory practice.
