<p>My son is a senior this year and already has had 3 offers and still has a few 2nd round interviews pending. This was my one concern about Kelley - with so many students I was worried about job prospects for all but the top students (son has a 3.0 in Supply Chain/Finance). He had a tough time finding a summer internship last year and was relieved to finally have a great job drop in his lap through a family contact.
All-in-all IU was a great place for him - pre-admit and automatic scholarship and now job offers!!!</p>
<p>That is encouraging… keep hearing Kelley is a great business school but it really comes down to job offers! Congrats to your son :)</p>
<p>Congrats to your son, ShanghaiMom! Doesn’t it feel great to have the weight of finding employment off his shoulders!</p>
<p>My 2011 Kelley grad also had a job in hand before Christmas of his senior year. It was such a relief to him and us both. My S found his job through the Kelley career center interview process. I can’t say enough good things about that process. While it could be grueling, the interview opportunities were plentiful. I will say, though, that the higher the GPA, the more companies that will be willing to interview a candidate. </p>
<p>Bottom line, Kelley provides both a great education and a great career center.</p>
<p>Congrats to both of you. Great to hear. What areas of the country did your receive jobs from?</p>
<p>My S’s job is in the Chicago area.</p>
<p>Congrats to the the parents here! (ILMom–we’ve “talked” about this before I think)</p>
<p>Perhaps I should start a thread on SOIC. The placement rate is slightly lower than Kelley, but the school hasn’t existed nearly as long. DD had a couple of job offers fall semester and started a couple months post-graduation. </p>
<p>I just discovered she’s making slightly less than the typical grad, but she’s also employed in IN so it’s a much lower cost of living. She also has an excellent benefits package.</p>
<p>My son had call-back visits to Milwaukee, Chicago, Pittsburgh, New York, Detroit and Indianapolis. Of those he has only had one not offer the job. All were through Kelley Career Center interviews.</p>
<p>Do you know what kind of salary range (S preadmit into Kelley, weighing options 
are grads being offered? Also, are there many opportunities in New York?</p>

<p>Thanks IllinoisMom - one of my son’s offers was from Macys in NYC and we were a bit dismayed to see that it was only very slightly higher than what he was offered in Pittsburgh and Milwaukee from other retail companies. It’s was significantly less than the Kelley average for NYC but then I’m sure that’s partly due to the skew from higher paying Finance jobs in NY. He’s very happy to be in Pittsburgh.</p>
<p>Yes, thanks! Great resource</p>
<p>Great link Illinois Mom!</p>
<p>I agree that the Kelley career placement is excellent. Most of my friends already have jobs. I received 3 offers and 6 call backs. My friends accepted job offers in NYC, Cincinnati, Chicago and Pittsburgh. Some advice to current Kelley students: internships are important.</p>
<p>I would also like to praise the Career Services Office for Kelley. My daughter received three excellent offers from companies in Chicago, Connecticut and Michigan through on campus recruiting. She will be moving to Chicago and is very excited to be working for Kraft.</p>
<p>My son graduated Saturday. Great day, despite the loss by the basketball team, yuck. He did a Spring public accounting internship last January and got hired by the same company last month in Indy at a salary right at the accounting average, which is very good for Indy cost of living. Had to compete against a lot of MSA and MBA students for the job and all the jobs he interviewed for, and no doubt that the internship helped put him over the top.</p>
<p>bthomp 1, Congrats to you and your son! I agree that internships are critical , competition for jobs is fierce. Isn’t it wonderful to have a college grad with a great job? Watching the Hoosiers lose to Butler was heart breaking. Go Hoosiers !</p>
<p>lsb312, congrats to you and your daughter for her job at Kraft. It is amazing how many quality companies from around the US recruit Kelley. So happy that my son does not have to go to grad school for want of getting an offer. That would’ve been expensive.</p>
<p>Thanks for posting!</p>
<p>I hope I can have a great Kelley Experience and end up with a job like all of these other Kelley people</p>

<p>Kelley Career Service has the following policy applicable for both internship and job offers.

<p>DS2 just accepted an internship offer for the coming summer before his senior year. So, he is no longer pursuing any more opportunities. It was lucky for him on the first try with a decent company. But, in the meantime, he missed out on further exploration. Some Kelley students mentioned in this thread got multiple interview opportunities and even multiple offers. How do they handle the situation? Do they really abide by this policy? I definitely know that some of the new hires from my company changed their minds. But, I also know that you probably should not do it if you are in the IB area.</p>
