[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like if you want finance/banking/PE/VC or consulting and are at a T20, you get jobs by:

1. Athletic connections - if a recruit
2. Competitive business clubs in undergrad
3. Family connections[/quote]

This is the path for anyone at any school that wants those opportunities.  The difference at say a Wharton is that there are tons of boutique investment banks, small P/E funds, etc. started by Wharton alums that only hire Wharton kids ([b]and the kids of important clients[/b]).  They pay well, but aren't considered the plum Goldman Sachs or Blackstone or Citadel companies, so there are opportunities for lots of kids outside these clubs.

Harvard and Yale and other top schools have equivalent-type firms.

It's actually harder coming from say UMD if you don't have any of the above.[/quote]

Interesting. 
So if my kid is the kid of an important client, should he go through the normal T25 school channels or through connections?[/quote]

You work connections no matter what...but you need to be an important client and you need to be the primary contact (usually CEO, CFO, Chairman and/or owner) for that investment bank, P/E firm, etc.

If you aren't in a position to give the firm business, then they don't care that you work at the company.  Just want to make that clear.

Understood. We fit the category.[/quote]
