KingKREEP has posted some great info. Just to add to it, I think energy recruiting has also been on the upswing at Ross. The Energy Club was very active last year, organizing two trips to Houston and Chicago to meet with a great mix of companies in the area. As far as recruiting goes, supermajors recruit on-campus, including Exxon and Chevron. Shell also comes to do on-campus corporate presentations; a BP executive hosted a lunch with Ross students a short while ago. Utilities also come to campus to recruit. Renewable energy is also very big on campus, with the great reputation of the Erb program. Honestly, I think if you're interested in energy, Ross is one of the few schools in the country who's really serious about energy.

Ross's biggest strengths seem to be in consulting, investment banking, and marketing. How does Ross fare within the S&T and investment management functions within Investment Banking? It's hard to find statistics in these two functional areas. Any extra insight would be awesome here.

From what I have seen (I've been here 3 years), Ross' key strengths are Consulting, Marketing, General Management and to a lesser extent, banking. While the first three have been strong points at Ross for more than a few years now, banking recruiting has slowly been improving over the past couple of years, especially in the middle-market and boutique space. Another overlooked area where Ross is particularly strong is Corporate Finance positions (my guess is that because these positions get lumped in with "General Management"). A fair number of Ross graduates go into these positions at firms such as JPM, Barclay's AMEX, Amazon, MSFT, etc.

Now, S&T and Investment Management is not one of Ross' area of strengths. Ross has fantastic facilities and resources for people to learn the skills, including our own student run hedge fund (which I served on for a year) and a full-fledged trading desk. However, it appears that most banks that recruit for S&T prefer recruiting the BBAs. One of my good friends (and classmate) was a trader at a BB before he came to Ross. And from what he tells me, the banks prefer the young guys because the MBAs who join trading desks do pretty much what the undergrads do. So desks like to promote people who have developed the skills and experience rather than hire an MBA who has yet to "get his boots dirty", so to speak. Even a traditional finance powerhouse such as Wharton sends just 10 - 15 people into Sales and Trading every year. One outlier is Booth - they are consistently strong in their sales and trading recruiting. All said and done, recruiting for Sales and Trading from Ross will largely be a self-directed effort. I personally know two people who made it there from Ross, but it's not an easy hill to climb.

I don't think they've released the official numbers yet, but they stated at GBR that hiring across the board has improved a lot this year. I'd expect 2011 hires for both M/B/B and banks to be as good as or better than 2010.
