NYU Stern PT is not as bad on Career Switchers as the reputation. Trust me, I did it using their Career Center. There are 2 different career centers at Stern. One for FT and one for PT and Alumni.
The problem with the process is that many of the PTimers don't put in the work to make the switch. Again, I know b/c I saw it first hand. I put in a ton of work and got a good job from on campus recruiting and had several interviews.
I personally believe that the best jobs are not on campus. Sure you can go IB or MC through Stern. PTimers get those jobs every year. But I don't think those are the best jobs (My wife has a summer internship with a Bulge Bracket Investment Bank). Those jobs pay well...but several jobs pay well. They also have tons of drawbacks. I know several people in those positions that make good money but hate their job. I also know several PTimers at Hedge Funds, PE shops, REITs, etc. who make similar money without the lifestyle.
