Alexandre, quick question not related to consulting:

How is Claremont McKenna and Pomona viewed by the ibanks nowadays? Any ideas? Thanks.

To the OP:

Look at PE (private equity), hedge funds, or real estate groups. They are generally tougher than IB or MC but these offers are not to be rejected. Top firms/shops: Citadel Investment Group, SAC capital (no website), or the Blackstone Group. Many ibanks also have PE shops sometimes referred to as merchant banks and sometimes as affiliated shops.

Another very elusive job is investment management, the buy side btw. These guys are usually clients of the ibanks. Most ibanks have buy side oppurtunities, and there are many small investmnt management groups out there. Do a search on your own.

Try to go to the message boards at vault.com or the businessweek forums. Good luck.
