Hi, I'm expecting to graduate in June, 2012. I would like to know which locations, NY, London, Chicago, Singapore has the most entry level jobs and which areas (Quant, Risk Management, Programming) has most job openings.

Thank you.

James
 
NY and London, since every global investment bank in the world has flagship offices in both of those centers (in Asia it's split between HK and Singapore, and Chicago is very secondary)
 
James, I too graduate in May 2012...what I have learned is that you cannot pigeonhole yourself to a particular area, you must be shapeless and prepared to take on any task. It means strengthening the base of your toolkit. This actually helps you in the long run since you will just be more knowledgeable overall.

Search for and apply to jobs you have probably excluded because you seek "trading' job...just an example. But as Ken says, there are plenty of jobs in model validation, risk mgmt, etc out here right now.
