I-Banking/Consulting

<p>How are the recruiting opportunities at Bowdoin ? If i major in math/IR along with a minor in econ or something can i get a job at a top bank ? What’s the average starting salary of math grads from bowdoin ? Is it a target for banks atleast in the maine area ?</p>

<p>I hope you aren’t dead set on taking one of those two routes as a high school senior. Otherwise, you might be better off at a college that has an undergraduate business school, since Bowdoin doesn’t emphasize business skills. That said, I know several people with jobs and/or interships at Goldman Sachs; JP Morgan is also a popular destination. As far as consulting goes, Bowdoin is only a semi-target for Mckinsey, Bain, and BCG. Deloitte, however, recruits extensively here. I can tell you that no one keeps track of the average salaries of math grads. If you want that kind of data, the Vanderbilt Web site has some breakdowns by major.</p>

<p>i dont really keep track of that stuff but i saw lots of alum referrals through our career website this year with gs, barclays, jpm, credit suisse, and UBS. these are only the alum referrals, i also think we get recruiting spots too. i don’t know. don’t stress out about it too much.</p>
