harvard v. princeton

I'm wondering how the two compare for business. I would probably do econ at both. Does one school have an edge as far as recruiting and internships and employment are concerned? How difficult would this track be at each school comparatively? anything else to consider? thanks!

Both schools will give you amazing opportunities, but I think Harvard wins by a nose because of its unparalleled brandname.

H = P = W (10char)

Wharton and Princeton are on the same level, but Harvard still is a teeeeeny bit better than both.

Harvard tends to have the most people going into a given firm (for IB/consulting). Except GS, where most are from Wharton.

H=P=W

true, but doesn't Goldman Sachs pay the most?

no ns347. (10)

Except for this year (where they handed out 100% bonuses to analysts), GS is known to pay street average or worse.

Hahhhhvahhhhd

Goldman supposedly pays the lowest, on average, out of all the BB firms.

apples2apples · April 2007

what are the bb firms and how much does each pay (relatively)?

sammy101 · April 2007

Goldman is known to pay above street for higher level people (VPs +) and lower than average for analysts because people are willing to work at GS for less just because of the name brand and superior exit opps....IF all you care about is money, the best bet is to join one of the top boutique firms such as Lazard as they pay above the other BBs.
