I think every college student gets buyers remorse close to graduation...

[Zach Lowe]

15-20 schools is more realistic. Its just the ultra-prestigious schools will have 20, 25 students fed into these elite firms, while there's 1 cat from Michigan, 1 cat from UCLA

Most of the BBs only checking for the Ivies, Stanford/MIT/CalTech, Georgetown/Northwestern, Berkeley/Michigan/UVA....and "diversity applicants" from Morehouse, Spelman, Hampton & Howard.​

Nah not true

Lots of random schools get i-banking recruiting
Baruch College is a mediocre public school and lots of firms pick up analysts there... NYU isn't considered prestigious by any credible person yet they're a strong feeder school
There are schools in Canada that get serious recruiting for positions in New York

even in this list there's like 15-20 schools with enough recruiting for a good candidate to get a banking job and it excludes all private schools

@DaChampIsHere What companies only hire from 5-7 schools

Must be some tiny ass operation to be hiring from 5-7 schools

I was talking about the same 5-7 HBCUs. Didn't think I needed to say such in my quote to him since he went to one.

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

maybe around 200k MAX


but by the time you 40 that shyt payed off, because 3 years after you graduate you making 200K+ depending what you go into. Not like getting an PHD in english and being 200k in debt and making 40k an year till you die

Everyone cant be a doctor

And STEM degrees are damn near as secure w/10% of the debt

Ah ok

That might be about right
I know the more famous ones get some good attention (Howard/Morehouse/etc.) like he said

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

Nope. Best time and decision of my life and no loans.

 

[Atlrocafella]

That shyt hit me right after graduation in 2010. 13k left on these loans , but of you're trying to get into corporate America and move up you got to play the game right and get these degrees, add to the fact that my parents wasn't trying to hear shyt about me not wanting to go to college lol.

Like someone said earlier, of you getting weak degrees with big ass loans, you playing yourself something serious.

Breh, NYU has Stern which is one of the elite business program. What are you talking about? NYU IS an elite school.

No, there are not enough of those jobs for students that do not come from the top schools. You think the valedictorian from Florida getting that job compares to those companies literally coming on campus just to recruit Michigan, UVA and Notre Dame's undergraduate b-schools and knowing they want them? You're comparing that to the placement of the ivies, Northwestern, Chicago and Duke?

Stop it. Don't you get that corporations are lazy as shyt and go with proven commodities? There are very few state schools that will get you those jobs unless that company opens up a branch in that market. EVEN THEN, the kids from the elite schools have a leg up because companies recruit further down in their classes than they do at other schools. My homie has never been to Florida in his life and is getting recruited to go to Miami by Goldman over all those FSU and Florida kids because he's an ivy leaguer.

fukk you breh, that was a different time. How are you laughing at us because the economy died on us?

I remember my breh going to Lehman Brothers right when that shyt crashed

I remember my breh going to Lehman Brothers right when that shyt crashed

Did they give out severances like in "Margin Call" or was it like "its over nikka, go home"

I'm not laughing at you all...I'm Class of 2009...the economy died during my junior / senior year.

I got my full-time offer from a bulge bracket investment bank in Summer 2008 as the world was coming to an end (Lehman, Merrill ). Bunch of us thought banks were going to yank our offers. 1st semester of my senior year was scary as shyt

Luckily I kept my offer and got through the 2 years as Wall Street was reducing headcount.

I'm 25 now and started back in school last january.. Been eating off pell grants to pay for my classes.. I go to a JC though so the bills arent that crazy, but I do plan on transferring after my 2 years

NYU isn't elite at all, especially not for undergrad... for an MBA I might give it a pass there's a difference between having decent recruiting and actual pedigree

If you wanna be technical about it there aren't enough of these jobs even for kids at top schools... I know someone who's graduating from Wharton undergrad this year and he's pulling about a 3.3... the best summer internship he could pull was some non-prestigious trading gig

I'm sure Goldman recruits at UF too what are you talking about
You don't have to be anywhere near the valedictorian at UF to get a banking gig no one that smart is going to do banking anyway they usually become academics

You can think what you want but Goldman does on-campus interviews at many non-Michigan/UVA/etc. caliber public schools

The Ivy League kids may have a small advantage and more of their marginal candidates might slip into these positions but at the top level of candidates it's a very even playing field

Dude literally graduated and went to that shyt and then it was

He got his MBA and bounced back and he's got a good gig now.

His man was like "I told you about that Wall Street shyt, you should've come to the Valley like me."

Okay breh, the recruiters I've met say otherwise. But I'll let you tell it.
