The career fair was billed as featuring representatives from over 80 leading firms.
The conference targets students pursuing consulting, finance, accounting, private equity, banking, fintech, and business-facing AI and data analytics roles. Past sponsors include Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, BCG, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, BlackRock, EY, Deutsche Bank, and Citi.
It is most useful for LGBTQ+ undergraduates aiming at consulting, finance, banking or private equity, since the career fair was billed as bringing over 80 firms and past sponsors included Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, BlackRock and JPMorgan Chase. Mid-career professionals or students aiming at fields outside business, such as engineering or the arts, would get less from it, because the audience and recruiting firms are concentrated in finance and consulting.
Students at finance and consulting recruiting events usually wear business formal, such as suits, with a polished outfit expected at the career fair. New York in October is mild to cool, and comfortable dress shoes help for long days of walking and standing.
