<p>Absolutely correct. The odds of landing a good job in industry (manufacturing, defence, petroleum/pretrochemical, high tech, biotech etc…) from Michigan’s CoE are much better than landing a job in such companies from NYU CAS, or most of the other universities you are considering for that matter, except for NU and perhaps Columbia and Penn. It is good to keep that in mind by the way. Landing a job in IB and MC from even the likes of Ross, Dartmouth or Columbia are not great, particularly in the case of MC firms. I would say only 60%-70% of students seeking jobs in BB IB firms from Ross, Columbia and Dartmouth will be placed. Only 10% will be placed in BBM firms. IBs recruit enough I suppose, but MCs do not. It is good to have a “plan B” just in case, and as “Plan B” goes, you can’t do better than Michigan’s CoE.</p>
<p>Also, as you said, it’s definitely possible to break into the banking or consulting industry after I’ve worked in tech, right?</p>
<p>It is easier to break into consulting after working in tech. IBanking is a little harder to pull off.</p>
<p>If you are interested in consulting, you might want to look into COE’s Engineering Global Leadership Honors Program:

<p>Oh wow, this program looks incredible! Does anyone know how difficult it is to get in? It seems you have to apply into it…</p>
