MBAs, as has been well-noted in recent weeks, are choosing to stay away from investment banking and are gravitating towards more glamorous positions in tech companies or taking the traditional route into consulting. The finance industry remains keen to hire MBAs, however, and still offers the highest proportion of jobs to business school graduates globally. However, this year in Europe it appears that investment banks are remaining cautious about recruiting MBAs - a lot of associate programmes are closed already, with only summer internships on offer. Other banks are only hiring for a limited number of functions. Here's the breakdown of what's on offer in London currently.
