hehe. i knew sakky would say something about that as I was typing it out. Even at MIT/Harvard, the percentage of people heading to Mckinsey, Bain and BCG straight out of undergrad is only 10-15%. Firms like Deloitte, Mercer, Accenture hire from everywhere. Financial Services encompasses a large number of job categories, the number of people who are at the important jobs are only a small number. Goldman Sachs is one of the largest networks on facebook, but how many of them are truly Front Office?

Look I know it makes a difference, but the difference is negligible in the grand scheme of things, and too often people have unrealistic expectations just because they went to Harvard, it's an entry level job.
