The MIT Master in Finance program has put their placement information online and it is both impressive and telling. I will directly link to the PDF as well as upload a copy for posterity, but let me do a quick break down.
Class Stats:
- 26 graduates
- 31% woman

- Analyst and Associate level placements
- Work Experience: Mostly less than 1 year, but 15.8% had 3-5 years
- 100% placement 3 months from graduation

Here are the companies hiring MIT students:
- Barclays Capital
- BlackRock

Very interesting and impressive stats. The mix of non financial services is rather unique and shows a good depth. In my opinion, this is more a function of MIT’s brand and reputation than the Masters in Finance degree. Here is the actual report:
