MBA's eschew McKinsey, go for Google

Interesting article from Fortune magazine re where the latest crops of MBA's are going:

Last year, Google hired hundreds of new MBAs, though thousands applied. MBAs are attracted to Google because they "really get a lot of responsibility right at the outset," said Yvonne Agyei, Google's director of global university programs. "MBAs are looking for the opportunity to make an impact."

In second and third places are management consultant McKinsey & Co., appearing on 15.84% of students' wish lists, and investment bank Goldman Sachs (GS, Fortune 500), selected by 14.98%.

The last time ambitious MBA's were more keen on technology than consulting or banking was in the latter days of the dotcom boom - another sign today of the Crash 2.0 zeitgeist?
