MBA Candidates Say Bad Economy Does Not Bother Them
"Jobs, jobs, jobs. Everyone is thinking it but not necessarily talking hiring, especially Wall Street. Young Employees This paradigm was foremost in my mind on Friday as I listened to prospective MBA candidates go through simulations of the various functions within the finance industry at an event hosted by the Robert Toigo Foundation. The event was meant to bring minority MBA candidates in direct contact with Wall Street bankers to experience typical day in their lives and allow them a peek into a banker's many job functions. As bankers from Goldman Sachs, Citibank, J.P. Morgan, and later Credit Suisse, UBS, and Bank of America Merrill Lynch took the students through the art of negotiation, mergers, private equity, wealth management, and even the sales and trading desk, recruiters sat in the shadows observing, aiming to spot early talent. Almost all of them said they had actively recruited this year. Not huge numbers, but hiring had taken place." - In the News | February 2010
