Odds at Goldman--very bad

First of all, it’s according to how many people responded to the career survey, so everything is self-reported material. Of course we can assume that a good number out of the 350 graduates did the survey, and most probably answered as accurately as possible. But still, the 40% is not 40% of students but rather 40% of respondents.

<p>This is true. Most grads will respond to the survey (heard it was ~90%), but you have to take the number with a grain of salt. </p>

<p>

The real % we need to know is % going into a BB (or top boutique) in NYC as an IB analyst

</p>

<p>I was talking about investment banking as a whole in response to Dawgie’s statement about investment banking job prospects in general. The answer to this would be useful, but doesn’t really pertain to what I was talking about. BB analysts in the IBD division of the NYC offices are not the only investment bankers.</p>

I know a Ross student who graduated in 2004. He went to GS. He said only one other person that year became an analyst in IB in NYC. The rest were non-IB positions and/or not in NYC. I’ll try to get more details on that, but that’s what he said.

<p>Considering goldman only took four grads in 2004, that is very possible. The others were probably in S&T and/or the Chicago office (god forbid!).</p>
