[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Live and work in finance in NYC and high school matters, but not always in the Choate kinda way.  We have some many Xavier HS guys - wish is not a top private high school in nyc.  It's not even the best all-boys jesuit high school in nyc. But it's got a huge presence in finance. Go figure.

Also, my kids roommate just had a job offer rescinded. These are cyber security majors at RPI. It was 150K job! but they seem to think they can get another one in a minute, as Beyonce might say. [/quote]

+1…also the Chaminade network is fantastic for kids in nyc area and beyond [/quote]

DS will graduate in next week from UVA, and had been looking for jobs since January without much lucks.  Submitted over 1500 job applications with three interviews but no offers.  He reached out to one of the parents of a regular friend from his days at Sidwell Friends.  The friend's mother is a Fed SES and got him a Project Management (PM)  contracting job with 95k/yr salary.  DS's boss tole him that there are over 800 applications for that position and he would not have been hired without knowing the SES Fed.  YMMV.[/quote]

So she leveraged her Fed position to get the government contracting company to place your kid?  Sounds highly unethical.[/quote]
