Hey Kwam,
Thanks for the update... Was wondering if you were interested in and managed to find out about how well MIT grads normally fare in traditional fin ser jobs i.e.: IB, research or even PE and VC?
They seem to do pretty weel, from the big banks only JP Morgan does not go there, but you can go after it, the people I talked to at the Finance Club said that even though it's a little bit harder this year, still almost everybody could get places.
Regarding PE, VC and HF, well it's tricky. If you want VC for High Tech, then Sloan is pretty well regarded, but these industries are really hard to break through, and also the recruiting process is a little bit different and it happens later, so everybody told me is that you see all your friends getting offers from DB, UBS, Citi, etc, and you have nothing from these places... Nevertheless, I met a couple of Sloanies who are heading to VC, but to do the "Dirty job", as for these industries or you have previous work ex or you will start from bottom. From what I could "research" it seems that MIT can get you anywhere, but you will need to work your way through.
