reporting this nugget from the post "10 threads back" -- aka the "Grades" post: Though very rude, the comment from "to be fair" is actually pretty accurate. Elite employers don't recruit from Bama or the SEC in general, besides Vandy, and if there are any pickings at all they are very very very slim, and many of the top employment destinations are for MBA and Law School graduates. Don't believe me? Look at the opportunities on Handshake, they're not very impressive! For example, no VC recruits at UA, nor does JPM, CS, DB, UBS, Cravath, Bain, O'Melveny, McK, BCG, etc. - and the very few positions at good employers are typically pretty bad. Deloitte recruits UA grads, but not for their prestigious strategy practice. Tesla recruits there, but for sales & service positions not for their engineering or innovation divisions. And Goldman does selectively recruit at Alabama, yes, but not for analyst or associate-track jobs. How do I know? Because my company was recruiting a girl (a Phi Mu) last fall and she turned us down for a sales gig at GS. (Yes, I am a little bitter both as a UA grad and as a recruiter.) The cold truth is, elite employers simply recruit at higher caliber schools than UA. Prestige companies might at best offer up a handful of junky jobs at Alabama but offer 30 executive-track positions at schools like UNC, UVA, Texas, Berkeley or Michigan (and those are just the public schools). And UA grads tend to stay in the region for the most part so that means even fewer opportunities. Sad but true. Roll Tide.
