M.B.A’s Still Love Google and Goldman
May 27, 2008, 1:48 pm The New York Times
- Business school graduates are getting ready to hit the work force — if they are lucky — and it seems that nearly a quarter of them want to work for Google.
For the second year in a row, an annual survey of the most desirable places for an M.B.A. graduate to work, compiled by Fortune.com and Universum, found that Google appears more often than any other potential employer as the place business school students would like to hang their diploma — putting the Web search giant above bulge-bracket investment banks and the top-tier consulting firms.
Google expanded its lead in 2008, with nearly 24 percent of survey respondents saying that they would love to be on the payroll at the Mountain View, Calif.-based company, up from 20 percent in last year’s survey. McKinsey and Company, which held the top spot in 2006, came in a distant second in 2008, with only 16 percent of respondents naming the consulting company as one of their five favorites.
The investment banks that ranked the highest in this year’s survey are generally the ones that have best weathered the subprime meltdown. Goldman Sachs came in third overall — the same position as in 2007 — and took the top spot as the most desirable bank for a new graduate to start his or her career. JPMorgan Chase ranked No. 10, jumping 11 spots from last year, passing rivals such as Morgan Stanley (No. 15), Lehman Bothers (No. 16) and Merrill Lynch (No. 18).
Citigroup and Bank of America saw their rankings tumble. Citi fell 10 slots to rank No. 21 overall, while Bank of America fell 14 slots to No. 24.
