<p>“I mean, poor engineering students drop from engineering to business, not the other way around”</p>
<p>Lol sure. Get real. Even at michigan engineering, the best and brightest either go work in silicon valley, or go work at trading desks (HFT, MFT, prop shops, market makers, banks), or Mckinsey/Bain/BCG. Have you seen where the longest lines of the best people are at the career fair? It’s almost always Bain and the prop shops (the bulge bracket banks don’t attend). </p>

<p>“The list is a snapshot of where America’s best and brightest are going to work after graduation. Instead of enrolling in medical school or putting their engineering degrees to work designing or building things, these bright minds are headed for Wall Street – and, like the MIT students who took Las Vegas, figuring out ways to bring down the house.”</p>
<p>Look, as an engineering grad myself, I turned down offers for MSFT, AMZN and Cisco for wall street. I just don’t want to subject myself to 90k all in first year, and then probably 5% raise a year, topping out at 150-200k years later, answer to an MBA who doesn’t know shyt, when I could have a much better trajectory working with the best and brightest as a quant in finance, where your work affect decisions managing billions of dollars.</p>
