<p>I would say a Princeton degree is good up until you want to become VP or managing director. Actually, even before then as an associate you might want to get an MBA. A degree from Pton is just enough to break into the industry, from then on it is how well you do in the ibank that matters.</p>
<p>For example, my cousin was an investment banker out of NYU CAS, which is still a very good university, although it is not HYP. Even though he barely broke into the industry, he did very well once he got in and at one time he was a VP before he got his JD/MBA from Fordham. As long as your school is prestigious in some regard, or has graduates in high places, then employers who have graduated from the same schools will show a certain degree of “loyalty.”</p>
