<p>How is Boston for Investment Banking and related jobs compared to NYC? And come to think of it, how many IB jobs are there in the world? Just a guess would be fine.</p>
<p>WOW..so many ppl looking at ivies act as if they already know that investment banking is their life's ambition:::dont say u have a passion for i-banking; it's easy to see everyone's in it for the 6-7 figure salaries!!</p>
<p>by the way alice1, i'm not judging u in any way; for all i know, u might be at an ivy already and preparing to line up internships with sachs and ubs,etc...</p>
<p>so to all i-banking hopefuls:are u all such pathetic and capitalistic ppl, wanting $$$ so bad???</p>

<p>You say that like it's a bad thing....</p>
<p>Wrong board. You already posted this in the internships and jobs board anyways.</p>
<p>well it seems to me that these are the sort of ppl who will go through the employment statistics for the prev yrs, and try to find the job with the highest salary...that's not really good!Except for some ppl who sort of have i-bankng in their blood,and will really enjoy the work....</p>
<p>I'm a bit confused about your question...</p>
<p>If it's: "Is Harvard a good feeder for finance jobs?" I'd say absolutely! We're definitely top tier, with tons of top companies coming on campus to recruit.</p>
<p>If it's: "Are there as many finance jobs in Boston as in New York?" I'd say definitely not. There are definitely great jobs in Boston (CSFB, Putnam, Fidelity, etc), but Wall Street is the biggest place to be.</p>
<p>(anecdotal post)</p>
<p>yea, reading the crimson, you can almost get the feeling that because most of the ads there are ibanking or finance related, those are the biggest recruiters at harvard. i'd love to see a google or kellogg or any other different type of company recruiting there sometimes!</p>
<p>What I originally meant was, given a choice between working for an IBank or Money manager in Boston or New York, what would you choose? For example, is Goldman Sachs office in Boston that bad compared to the one in New York. Broadly speaking, if you want top Wall Street jobs (and by that I mean top notch FINANCE jobs), do you really have to work AT wall street in NYC but not Boston? Are all great M&A or quantitative finance or hedge fund jobs located only in NYC? Is Wall Street that much distinguished for top notch finance jobs compared to Boston? Isn't Boston also a financial district? So why the big deal about going to wall street in NYC for a top notch finance job, when there are so many good finance jobs back at home in Boston.</p>
<p>Then this question is not relevant to the Harvard board at all.</p>

<p>Sorry if it is irrelevant. Could you guide me about how could I move this thread to its appropriate place.</p>
<p>Upenn: Wharton</p>
<p>Haha, thor, but seriously-</p>
<p>This question doesn't have to do with colleges, really. There isn't any board on collegeconfidential that has to do with it.</p>
