In which fields do HYPMS undergrad school actually matter?

<p>

According to UPenn survey of graduates from 2008, the highest salaries were in Financial Services, Consulting and Technology, capping at $85,000. Average signing bonus (across all industries, though) was $7,476. So, not quite 6 figures, but close enough. Interestingly, the widest range of salaries was reported in Investment Management, $32,500 - $85,000. Of course, these job offers were before the market crashed in September.

<p>Wrong, you are talking about base + signing bonus. I’m talking about Base + end of year bonus, these two can easily sum to over 100k in an average year at a top 10 firm. Year end bonuses can be upto 100% of base in banking, trading, investment management.</p>
