I am more prefer to work in industry. But if I can't secure a descent job at Front Office, I'd rather just do a PhD degree ... -- by 会员 goodgoodman (2010/3/12 13:19:13)
Then I will first rule out Stanford. Stanford will give you the best preparation for PHD, but its career service just sucks. Plain and simple. NYU and CMU both have good placement, but I like NYU better because it has a smaller class and better location. It also gives you good foundation for PHD study. If I remember correctly, NYU's placement record for Chinese students is slighly better than CMU as well.
If FO job is your ultimate goal, then I don't think you should go for Columbia PHD. 5-year is a big investment. Your career options after your PHD are also limited. |
