Wharton MBA grads and career location
Looking at the career location of 2009 wharton MBA grads, i was really surprised that only 1% went to Chicago. More graduates went to boston, SF, LA, DC, and even Atlanta. What gives? This makes no sense given that Chicago has quite a few powerhouse finance firms. Also, it's hilarious that NYC's...
