this year job market for finance ph.d. is worse than my expectation.
I do not know any fresh chinese ph.d. got offer from descent business school
(top 30). Instead, I know a finance Wharton cannot find job (or he does not go
to mean school), a economics Chicago accept a job from a Australia school( he
wants to transfer to finance area),a minnesota finance cannot find job for two
years.
I know the job market for finance in 1990-1992 is tough but later it is better
and better. Let me pray that in

Except for Accounting, fresh Ph.D.s from all other fields are in huge trouble
this year,not just finance. It is still a pretty good year for accounting.The
accounting graduates in my school are busy traveling around the country,giving
job seminars on schools such as Stanford,UMich.. Some got offers very early.
Just don't why accounting is an exception.

go
he
two
better

Every recruter will promise you a bright future, if you come to them for
questions, talks but not offers or even interviews, that is just a sales
technique. Talk to your friend about how many phds with backgrounds like
her got McKinsey, or even just a so-so job.
Btw, is McKinsey the right place for a finance phd?

job market is always there, people are always hiring.
this year maybe tuff, but it is even tuffer elsewhere.
the finance phds graduating this year I know
got into U. chicago, Rice unviersity, Indiana Univ
and UC davis. all of them got 170K+ (12 month),
don't know what kind of trash you are talking about.
it all depends on you. if you have good papers, good recommendations,
you go whereever you want.

It's true the market is always there and schools are always hiring.
But schools hire less (or much much less) in a tough year (like this year).
Many schools just don't have openings. Demand is lower, while supply
is higher. So many people couldn't find a job. For the people who got one,
they may getter better and/or more offers in good years... Sure if you have
good pulications, good recommendations, goo presentations, you are likely
to get a job (maybe in a good school), but the point is it is
