Cornell Johnson Placement in IB/PE

Johnson places very strongly in IB for school of its caliber (IE non-M7). The career report does actually break down IB - look at job placement by function. I'm class of 2015 and the past 3 years 17%+ of the class has gone to IB - that's higher than almost any non-M7 school (besides Stern).

As far as firm placement, it's a target for all BBs except for MS and Barclays, although a couple people go to those firms each year through off campus recruiting. Most of the hiring is concentrated in Tier 2/3 BBs - Citi, BAML, DB. I'd say 2/3 of the group that goes to IB ends up at BB/EB and 1/3 at MM firms (Jeffries, Piper, STRH, Robert Baird, etc). In terms of EBs, Lazard, Moelis and Evercore recruit on campus (Evercore is new in the past 1-2 years).

For PE/VC, maybe 3-4% of the class gets a job in the field each year, and its exclusively through off-campus networking. You will be very hard pressed to find PE/VC firms that recruit on campus outside the MBA business schools">M7 (and even outside of HSW). Also, almost no one goes into those fields without pre B-school experience in IB/PE/VC. There are exceptions but they are few and far between. I have never heard of anyone placing at a megafund post-MBA.
