Google Vs. Goldman: Most Ideal Employers Among MBA Graduates.

Like the dot-com boom of the 90s, MBA students are once again eyeing big name technology companies, according to a survey from employer-branding firm Universum.
Karl-Johan Hasselstrom, regional manager at Universum, told CNN Money that B-school students are drawn to the challenging work environment that is well-known at technology companies. In fact, a competitive and intellectual challenge was the No. 1 career goal among this year’s MBA grads. Last year’s top priority was having a work/life balance.
“Top talent is thinking about their resume and about where they’re going to be challenged and excited, which I think might explain some of the tech companies on the list,” said Russ Hagey, chief talent officer for Bain & Co., to The Wall Street Journal.
Though not the top priority, CNN Money noted that job security and opportunity were still important to recent grads, which kept traditional consulting firms like McKinsey & Company at the top.
