<p>Exxagerations. Take a look at the UCB graduate surveys, from EECS for instance.</p>

<p>There’s a few financial sector employers in those lists. They hired for programming jobs, not investment banking.</p>

<p>As I told you, a few firms like to make a big deal that they employ a few engineers, but engineers going into investment banking straight out of school is not widespread. That you can’t find any from the UCB graduation survey.</p>

<p>You’ll see the same in the Cornell surveys as well. Despite all the exxagerated claims (that you did a good job at quoting), claims that the top students from the top schools are eschewing the tech sector, for investment banking, are exxagerated.</p>

<p>As I told you in other threads and here, there are very powerful people who have an interest in pushing the view that Americans aren’t studying math, science, or engineering, and that foreign workers are necessary to fill a labour gap. </p>

<p>Someone even listed their “employment” out of a UCB Math program as being a Starbucks Barista. UCB graduates aren’t dummies; fewer than 1 in 10 are even admitted! But some of the math grads did djoin firms in roles (ie: Analyst) that could reasonably be judged as being investment banking related.</p>
