Anyone know what are considered the better/more prestigious jobs to recruit for at an M7 MBA? Obviously MBB is popular but where do the top quartile want to go?

Tech, MBB, BB IB (although I’ve noticed this is getting less popular)

So what would you say encompasses tech in this group?

PgM?
Product management?
Strategy?

I have noticed the trend too but wondering where specifically people are finding more value.

MBB, PE, Tech, Start Ups (in a CXO or founder role). IB was really rare at mine (self selection).

For those saying Tech, what firm or function? E.g. is Amazon PM actually considered prestigious?

I wouldn’t say it’s “prestigious” but at M7 schools it’s largely self selection where people go. The person who went to MBB could’ve probably gone to Google who probably could’ve gone to IB. In fact, there was no “top quartile” at my school. No employer has ever looked at my grades from business school.

Edit: the exception to that is probably the hedge funds and mega PE funds.
