[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Goldman Sachs has just announced a reduction in internship and FTE offers for this summer. MBB has announced the same.  Other banks are likely to follow. With the huge number of students aiming to land these jobs, it will have a pretty negative impact on the graduates coming out in June. I completely agree with the poster about job deferrals when it’s time to start.  I think many parents on this forum are unaware of what's really happening in the industry and aren't paying close attention to how recent grads are doing in securing full-time offers. Instead of spending so much time analyzing ED stats or other college admissions data or figuring out the right scheme for a T20 admission, maybe focus on how many students from the 2025 graduating class have actually landed jobs. It's pretty bleak, especially for programs that graduate thousands of students.  [/quote]

I’ve looked at the job placement statistics for my son’s college. It breaks it down by major, but it’s grouped as “employed or continuing education”.  So it looks nice on paper, but I’m more curious about the actual percentage of employed graduates. [/quote]

Also...employed in what? Living at home and scooping ice cream at the local shop that worked at in HS so they are employed but I don't think that's what anyone was planning for after college.[/quote]
