those companies are pretty respected but being an analyst and doing that kind of work completely sucks



Do you realize how little sense this comment makes? Those companies are incredibly well respected and top-tier for the sort of entry-level jobs they offer, and your critique that “that kind of work completely sucks” says absolutely NOTHING about how those are the exact jobs that anyone interested in pursuing a career in finance, investment banking or thinking about business school (which is generally what a lot of the consulting positions are gateways to) are aspiring to get.

I realize that completely irrelevant comments tend to be the norm for your attempts at ■■■■■■■■ the Williams thread to hate on us despite having absolutely no connection to Williams, but, really. If the OP is considering a career in finance or going on to business school, knowing that top companies recruit on-campus is extremely important. I have friends at Bowdoin, Colby, Middlebury and other top LACs who don’t have a tenth of the on-campus recruiting that we have at Williams, and another friend at Swarthmore in particular who has also found on-campus recruiting there something to be desired (though, to be fair, he’s not looking for finance/consulting jobs, so I have no idea what that sort of recruiting is like there).
