I asked a friend about this. He is in class of '08 and he said that it did make quite a mess of things: people were scrambling left and right to make plans for the future. Since Wall Street isn’t in a hiring ‘mood’ right now, a lot of the students that would have done finance related work are going to grad school or doing other things like TFA, consulting, etc.

Thus those fields are overcrowded and extremely competitive. It didn’t sound like a very good year overall
