Which industries are T15 B-schools best suited for? For example IB, VC, PE, Tech, consulting, startups etc… Curious since I’m still in the part of trying to figure out if I just want to stay in consulting after MBA or what else is out there post MBA if I end up going to a specific B-school that’s known to land new grads in certain industries.

There’s a pretty big difference between those industries. Everywhere in the T15 has major consulting / banking / tech firms recruiting there. The specific firms and the number of interview slots may vary but you’ll have at least a shot at all to major companies since they hire a bunch of MBAs and have to recruit widely to do this.

PE/VC is harder because there are a lot less spots overall and they recruit much more narrowly. Some nuances here but to have the best shot for this 1) have a compelling pre-MBA profile and 2) go to the highest ranked school you can get into

Those are both major schools so pretty much everyone (MBB, B4, T2, etc.) will hire from them! Typically, post-MBA roles are for generalists (esp. MBB + T2) but, obviously, firms specialize in different areas (ex. ATK’s focus on procurement).

Long story short, those are both awesome MBA programs and if you go to either you’ll have tons of opps to recruit for Consulting

Look up MBA employment reports by school, that will give you the best understanding by industry for what you are looking for.

C1 Thanks for the tip!

All T15 get you IB/consulting.

More specialized roles are best from the M7s.

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking.

Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?
