When did your kid land their post-gras job?

[Anonymous]

DS is entering senior year and already applying to analyst/leadership development programs.

How has it worked with recruiting timelines and accepting and comparing offers?

Your kid is in finance. Everything is way early in finance.

Everyone else doesn’t really apply till end of fall or beginning of spring. I knew kids getting jobs that they applied to in may.

DS is exploring options and has seen many CPG brands open up

Many CPG positions currently open are still financial positions. They just aren’t at a bulge bracket firm.

Meaning just graduated … not rising senior.

OP here. Looking to see when kids who have graduated in recent years typically landed jobs

DD graduated in 2024. Received and accepted an offer from F500 healthcare leadership development program right before Christmas of her senior year.

My older DS graduated with a degree in Business Data Analytics in 2022. He was applying/interviewing in the fall of his senior year. He had four job offers by Thanksgiving.

My younger DS was a Math and Secondary Ed major and just graduated in May. He was looking for teaching jobs - high school math. He didn't even start applying until probably March of his senior year. He accepted a job offer about two weeks after he first started looking.

DD got a Big 4 offer last week, she's going into her senior year

DS got a job 1 month lost graduation. Height helps I don't care what people say. He is 6'4. Otherwise nothing special about his profile. He graduated with a 3.4 GPA in electrical engineering and finance minor. He is wrong for Verizon in New York.

DS didn’t graduate but lined up a good job right after coming home. No degree but he speaks multiple useful languages and is charismatic.

So he's unsuccessful and mooching off of you.

My DC who just graduated from UVA told me that many of his friends who had jobs lined up have had their offers rescinded or start dates delayed until 2026.

DC 25 at top 10:all who were looking had jobs by graduation as all were telling the parents at graduation events what the plans were. Large friend groups, 15-20 grads at various grad parties across the weekend. About 1/3 were not looking because had med/law/grad lined up. Every school but one that we heard was ivy or T20 range.
