I don’t know much about Stern except that it is cutthroat and its strongest program is by far finance. If you don’t plan on doing finance then I don’t think either stern/goizueta matter, maybe a slight edge to goizueta.

The large banks (GS, ML, MS, JPM, Lehman) all come down here to recruit. What really matters in getting a job is your gpa and your networking skills. At stern there is probably a larger alumni base at all these banks, which makes networking easier.

As far as the median income or whatever, that statistic is for undergrads. But keep in mind that that figure is slightly lower than stern because it reflects regional job placement (>40% get jobs in the southeast, where cost of living is lower, thus base salary is lower). Your base salary is indifferent to the school you go to.
