NYU is a very big school and Stern is pretty small. This list represents weighted average placement on Wall Street as a share of the entire school. For example, no large public universities are on the list despite the fact that UC Berkeley and Michigan send a lot of kids to Wall Street

I know for certain that more than just Stern grads are applying to IB jobs from NYU.

And more than Wharton from Penn. Math, Economics, PPE and Engineering majors too.

This just goes to show that is you aspire to work on Wall Street, your prospects are greatly enhanced if you play lacrosse for a top tier college program.

This^ and low work-life balance.

UVA is 30 when adjusted for size…it’s 13 based on raw data.

Crap list.

Use Poets and Quants. They have lot more credibility.

Actually, this list seems far more credible.

NYU is #2 when looking at raw numbers to Wall Street…it drops off OP’s list when adjusting for the size of the school.

Now, likely 80%+ of NYU kids going to Wall Street are coming from Stern, but hard to make that distinction.

As a Georgia resident, it does not.

+1

Y'all are so basic and boring

zzz

Hmmm let’s see. Great Depression. Triggered by Wall Street

S&L bailout. Triggered by Wall Street junk bonds

LTCM implosion led to “too big to fail” ethos. How could that possibly be a bad idea? 🙄🙄

Dot Com implosion—> recession of 2001

CLOs and CDSs—> global recession in 2008

I’m not saying we don’t need a financial sector. But its current iteration siphons off WAAAAY to much of the real economy by using things and people that could be put to far more valuable uses.

Thoughts?

Thoughts? Nothing to be proud of. Churning $$ for a living. Little social good. Not creative.

Well, any company you admire likely had to raise capital using an investment bank. If you think all for-profit companies are evil, then I guess there is no pursuading.

At least investment banks are involved in a lot of primary offerings (i.e., raising capital for companies) vs. just trading operations like hedge funds which serve a role in a capitalistic economy but are not providing capital for companies looking to grow.

Yep. Its the wrong list. You need to adjust for size.

If you scroll down in the link, you will see the adjusted-for-size list as well.
