Finance pathways may include Investment Banking, Asset Management, Wealth Management, and Corporate Finance. Consulting pathways may either be General or Specialized. About 1 in 4 Brown students secure opportunities in these fields, making this pathway one of the most common post-graduate destinations for undergrads.
The Finance and Consulting Pathway involves many large, well-known employers who partner with the Brown Center for Career Exploration to post internships and jobs on Handshake, attend career fairs and meet with students on campus (or virtually) for information sessions, coffee chats and, sometimes, on-campus interviews. These employer partners also hire cohorts of Brown students into financial analyst or consulting positions each year.
Quite a few graduating seniors get jobs with companies that don’t necessarily recruit on campus and are perhaps less well-known, often on a later timeline — in the spring, before or a few months after graduation.
