Which Wall Street companies are most popular with job seekers: LinkedIn statistics

Ratings, as well as opinion polls, always give a certain "average temperature in the hospital." In this regard, nothing can replace your own experience. But the general mood of the audience can be understood with their help. Linkedin's professional social network has published a list of 40 of the most attractive companies in terms of American job search. Those that take away the most talented graduates and specialists in the labor market.

It is clear that very few people can compete with Google, Facebook and Apple. The edition of Business Insider decided to choose from this list the most popular Wall Street firms. The rating is based on the activities of more than 433 million social network users. These include job status, attempts to view company pages and attempts to contact them, as well as the duration of the hiring process.

Before proceeding to the list itself, a couple of conclusions. According to BI, the investment departments of banks have become less popular with graduates of the most reputable US business schools. Only one of 46 students at top universities is interested in working at a bank. Many today prefer technical startups or start a career in the family business.

In our blog, we recently wrote about the difference between working in banks and working in hedge funds, based on analysts' feedback from Quora. It turned out that the work in the investment fund is more interesting and less affected by the corporate bureaucracy, employees get more freedom. But, both of them are forced today to look for new ways to attract young talents, change their strategies and adapt themselves to competitors in this battle.
