<p>I grew up in NJ and worked 10 years in the Chicago area before Seattle. Your opinion of Kelly is grossly inflated. For most Kelly grads it’s just another good midwest B school. A chosen few–emphasis on few–get IB jobs in NY. The vast majority end up in Indy, Chicago etc working for accounting firms and regional banks and companies. </p>
