<p>obviously HYPW top all lists for all cities</p>
<p>but what about for specific regions</p>
<p>my example lists/rankings</p>
<p>Chicago:
uChicago
Northwestern
UIUC</p>
<p>Houston:
McCombs
Rice</p>
<p>LA and SF
Stanford
Pomona
CMC
Harvey Mudd
USC</p>
<p>any other suggestions?</p>
<p>Just thought it would be interesting</p>
<p>also my ranking by difficulty to get a job in which city</p>
<p>NYC
Westcoast=Chicago
Houston</p>
<p>Any opinions?</p>
<p>The difficulty of cities depends on what region your school is in. East coast schools are targeted for NYC, and west coast schools for SF/LA. It’s difficult to get a west coast job from the east, even from HYPW, and vice versa even from Stanford.</p>
<p>what would you say are the best targets for west coast offices</p>
<p>Stanford and Berkeley are the two big west coast feeders. UCLA and USC are also decently targeted for LA offices.</p>
<p>where is best to go if you want to work in houston?</p>
<p>Rice?UT McCombs maybe?
Do you have a better chance for houston from say Rice or Georgetown? Rice or Stern?</p>
<p>Also, why do I see most people would rather work in NYC than Houston?</p>
<p>I have heard the pay is the same(and money goes further in Houston), so why, they dont want to live in houston?</p>
<p>Houston is good for energy banking. I’d guess that Rice and UT McCombs are targeted for that region specifically. Plenty of people in the area or who are interested in energy end up working there, but most people don’t want to be stuck in energy or live in Texas vs. a real metropolitan area like NY, SF, or LA, which is why it’s not that popular in general.</p>
<p>oh okay thanks</p>
<p>For someone who actually wants to work in houston :)</p>
<p>is it possible to get a job there from east coast targets</p>
<p>I know you said it is hard to go from east to west coast, but what about east to texas?</p>
<p>Such as Gtown to Houston or even a NESCAC school to houston?</p>
<p>possible?</p>

</p>
<p>Definitely. In fact, a few of the students who are juniors and seniors at my school (east coast target) have gotten summer offers at BB banks in less desirable areas, at least to them (Houston, Chicago), and are waiting to see if they can can get something in the New York region. I know of people who have gotten jobs in SF as well, though I don’t know of anyone who hasn’t accepted a SF job yet based on location reasons.</p>
<p>roneald- </p>
<p>Because it is less desirable, is it “easier” (and I understand it is never easy, but I am speaking relatively) to get a job in Houston compared to NYC or SF?</p>
<p>For example, if one attended a soft target, such as UVA(just random), instead of a HYP, would one have a higher chance of landing a job in Houston if that is what they really wanted. It just makes sense, if it is less desirable location-wise.</p>
<p>What are other targets for Chicago? Would Indiana be one? How about UW-Madison? Any others beside NW,UofC, UIUC? How about Houston? Also what would semi-targets be?</p>
<p>for chicago, nu and u of c are probably in the first “tier” for recruiting, then notre dame, umich-ross and IU, then UIUC. I’ve also seen a few scattered wisconsin and iowa people. very few from the ivy leagues in chicago, though that may or may not be by choice.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Would you put Notre Dame ahead of of UMich? I knew Notre Dame was a strong force in that area, but I didn’t think it would stand up to what was a national semi-target. Interesting to know; I honestly have little knowledge of that area. Most of the people I know who want to work in Chicago for finance are students from my school who came from that area and want to go back (approx. 3 students). </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I honestly couldn’t tell you. From my own anecdotal examples, one COULD extrapolate thus so. However, I personally do not feel comfortable supporting such an ascertainment simply because my own experiences are so narrow and limited to what is relatively a small sample size. Because of things like business fraternities, investment/PE/VC clubs, on-campus recruiting events for older students I’ve attended, and speakers who come to the business school, I’ve met a pretty large sample size of students from my own school who are leaving to work in the industry, but that’s about it. I’ve also kept up with a few of my friends from Harvard, Wharton, Yale, Columbia, and Dartmouth and exchange a few stories, but these are far fewer. </p>
<p>Basically, you could see evidence for that claim based on my own experiences and a few others, and I personally haven’t seen anything to prove it wrong yet, but that’s not saying much, and I think you’d be far better off discussing this with either an on-campus recruiter or someone in your OCS. Sorry =/</p>

<p>I put them in the same tier, not ahead. The thing with michigan is that it probably places better nationally better than any of the schools listed, but not many end up going to chicago, at least in my class. most end up in ny, and i think my ross class is sending about as many to west coat bb’s/elite boutiques as to chicago bb’s. With most of the other schools listed, except to some extent NU/UofC, most of the recruiting on campus is going to be for chicago.</p>
<p>okay, thanks for the list and tiers of chicago recruiting. Does anybody know about Houston, other than Rice and UT?</p>
<p>houston anybody?</p>
