[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here who posted about exec functioning skills and about how high school doesn't matter. I worked in recruiting for IB and also for consulting (after actually being a consultant myself). Happy to answer questions.[/quote]

Thank you for the kind and detailed information. I spoke with my child’s school counselor, and they mentioned that some tech companies—at least here on the West Coast—look at applicants’ high schools in addition to the the academic competition to get a sense of their background, since they don’t rely solely on college names anymore. I found that interesting and was wondering whether a similar trend exists in the financial industries in the East Coast.[/quote]

Me again. No big banking or consulting employer "relies solely on college names." Even if we are looking at a candidate from a target school, we are going to be looking at the relevant coursework. We're familiar with the course catalog at the target schools.[/quote]

What “relevant” coursework?  Kids with English and History and all kinds of humanities degrees from top schools get hired in banking or consulting.
