<p>^ Who wants to go into IBanking job nowadays? IBanking in the US is now in comatose. Many companies that are into IB have already closed down.

<p>But let’s simplify this, hmom5. Berkeley grads make more money than Duke grads do. Dig up Forbes list and find out which grads eventually make more after leaving their respective alma mater schools. This happened despite Duke’s minute population compared to Berkeley’s. If it’s indeed true that Duke grads are more well-connected than Berkeley grads are, how come Berkeley grads earn more, make more than Duke grads do? It doesn’t make sense, does it? And, to think Duke grads are heading to WS, NY as you say…</p>

<p>The truth is, a strong Berkeley-Haas graduate would be a strong candidate anywhere or everywhere he’ll go and can compete with any strong Duke grad in job selection processes. In short, a Berkeley-Haas qualification is just as respected as a Duke econ qualification whether it’ll be in East Coast, WS, NY or anywhere in the US except West Coast. Because in the West Coast, there is a strong network of Haas alumni supporting each other and looking after each other making a Duke qualification second-class to Berkeley’s.</p>
