但比绝对值有什么意义，两个学校的class size又不一样

很丑的鬼脸

I have done some data digging. Below is the percentage data. all data are from 2010 career reports of the two schools.
Both screenshot and excel file are attached.

For finance:
Columbia has the upper hand in investment banking, hedge fund/mutual funds, sales and trading, private wealth management
Booth has advantage in PE/VC
Investment management/research is a draw between the two schools


For consulting:
Booth has more people going to consulting
but Columbia sends more people to MBB.

大家看学校的就业都是直接只拿Finance和consulting出来比的。。

进去了以后基本是和自己的同学在竞争，一个公司多招几个或者少招几个没有太大区别。因为600多人争30个posts和700个人争40个posts本质上没啥区别。而且还要看去了哪个office，是美国还是中国的。

Am a Chicago alum now in S&T, so may well be biased.. here is my two cents after a tough month in the markets..

Both are good schools and could possibly get you a job in finance. Functions in finance matters a lot though.

I think the training in Finance at Chicago most likely is more solid, cos of the quality of faculty, curriculum, and most importantly flexibility. You can take lots of PhD lvl courses in finance and economics if you feel up to it at Chicago...not too sure abt if it is the case in Columbia..

Function in finance matters as if you are really market focused, ie S&T related, then you'd  better learn some solid statstics/economics/finance skills; if more clients facing and presentation, then trainings matter alot less...being good-looking is much more important ;-)

In terms alum network in the investment bank industry, both have extensive network..and your school/education backgrnd won't matter at all once you get into the door...
