I am pleased to present the <strong>Wharton</strong> <strong>MBA</strong> <strong>Career</strong> <strong>Report</strong> for <strong>2003</strong>.As expected, the general recruiting environment for this year was challenging. <strong>The</strong>overall weakness in the economy, pending and eventual war with Iraq, and the lingeringeffects of 9/11 have continued to affect the number of opportunities in the job market.Fortunately, our students have embraced this problem in typical <strong>Wharton</strong> fashion byutilizing newly acquired skills and knowledge to successfully navigate through the jobsearch process.Some relief is in sight. Concerted efforts throughout the entire <strong>Wharton</strong> communitycontributed to a late-season increase in job opportunities for our students. Graduating<strong>Wharton</strong> <strong>MBA</strong>s landed jobs representing 28 different industries in 31 major cities and24 countries. Our summer interns went to work for 30 different industries in 33 majorcities and 35 countries.During the 2002–<strong>2003</strong> year, the <strong>Wharton</strong> <strong>Career</strong> <strong>Management</strong> Office addressedchanging student and employer needs by increasing the number of staff with significantbusiness-related work experience, renewing focus on job skills and industry education,and expanding and diversifying our recruiting base through all available channels. Wehave already seen positive results from this effort — on-campus recruiting increased19%, and job postings rose 31% for full-time and 33% for summerinternships. We will continue these efforts to create greater opportunitiesfor our students in the future.<strong>The</strong>se successes within a difficult climate were made possible by thefull support of the School administration, alumni, and faculty. I wouldalso like to extend our appreciation to all employers who recruited at<strong>Wharton</strong> this year and especially to our top hirers. We thank you foryour continuing support and look forward to working with each of youin the years ahead.Peter J. DegnanDirector<strong>MBA</strong> <strong>Career</strong> <strong>Management</strong>1

Z. John Liang, WG’04Major: Real Estate and FinancePrevious Education: Bachelor of Architecture,University of Arkansas; Registered ArchitectWork History: 8 years, most recently asconstruction project manager in Memphis, TNInternship: investment banking real estate equityresearch group, Friedman Billings Ramsey Group,Washington, DCTo be sure, before coming to <strong>Wharton</strong>, I had hada very rewarding career as an architect. Yet, I wasconstantly searching for a career path that couldfully utilize my creativity as a designer and myquantitative and analytical skills. I was also fascinatedwith the real estate development industry, andoften asked myself: Why can’t I be both the architectand the final decision maker? Why can’t I be thedeveloper, designer and financial expert all in one?I did some serious soul searching and realized Iwanted to try a career in real estate development.Stephanie Mann, WG’04Majors: Health Care and FinancePrevious Education: B.S. in Human Biology,Stanford UniversityWork History: 5 years in management consultingand software start-upsInternship: Citigroup Investment Banking, New YorkI decided to major in health care and financebecause I’m fascinated by the business opportunitiesin health care. Personally, when I started acompany in health care IT, I became aware of thesignificant role that financial decisions make in acompany’s growth prospects. Since the industry isbecoming both more developed and more complex,a lot of growth opportunities arise for health carecompanies based on their merger, acquisition, andfinancing strategies. <strong>The</strong>se opportunities exist at alllevels of a company’s development, from start-upthrough large business strategy.13
