Thought it would be interesting to see how many ex/current employees at the bulge bracket banks come from certain universities based on LinkedIn. I searched for each BB with the below unis and added the #s together.
BofA ML + X (BarCap) + Citi + CS + DB + GS + JPM + MS + UBS = Total

425 + X + 647 + 758 + 882 + 796 + 800 + 650 + 860 = 5 800 (UCL)
269 + X + 550 + 583 + 739 + 736 + 650 + 600 + 682 = 4 800 (LSE)
258 + X + 354 + 484 + 698 + 468 + 503 + 646 + 700 = 4 100 (Cambridge)
285 + X + 392 + 567 + 670 + 709 + 615 + 600 + 710 = 3 800 (Oxford)
217 + X + 364 + 441 + 545 + 492 + 400 + 448 + 563 = 3 500 (Imperial)
420 + X + 382 + 343 + 482 + 311 + 340 + 303 + 479 = 3 000 (Manchester)
233 + X + 343 + 329 + 500 + 437 + 370 + 350 + 500 = 3 000 (Warwick)
---
198 + X + 305 + 234 + 452 + 292 + 290 + 252 + 377 = 2 400 (Notts)
127 + X + 205 + 215 + 303 + 233 + 278 + 235 + 323 = 1 900 (Bristol)
147 + X + 206 + 205 + 310 + 277 + 240 + 271 + 270 = 1 900 (York)
132 + X + 171 + 170 + 468 + 196 + 200 + 157 + 277 = 1 800 (Birmingham)
127 + X + 172 + 190 + 249 + 206 + 240 + 223 + 273 = 1 700 (Durham)
115 + X + 196 + 227 + 308 + 202 + 210 + 202 + 270 = 1 700 (Cass)
112 + X + 191 + 216 + 275 + 239 + 220 + 166 + 250 = 1 700 (KCL)
94 + X + 221 + 149 + 199 + 166 + 230 + 197 + 218 = 1 500 (Edinburgh)
76 + X + 125 + 99 + 141 + 206 + 150 + 230 + 309 = 1 300 (Bath)
114 + X + 129 + 148 + 165 + 134 + 260 + 124 + 207 = 1 300 (Southampton)
93 + X + 141 + 181 + 183 + 141 + 138 + 131 + 210 = 1 200 (Queen Mary)
52 + X + 120 + 132 + 154 + 149 + 176 + 139 + 214 = 1 100 (Exeter)
40 + X + 83 + 48 + 82 + 65 + 92 + 85 + 71 = 600 (St Andrews)

Obviously take these numbers with a grain of salt (Manchester's place and UCL being the first). These stats include middle office/back office employees: they have a significantly larger intake than for FO and are less competitive. I left Barclays out for this reason because too large numbers came up.
 
I wonder how numbers look, particularly FO for the Europeans - the grand ecoles, Bocconi, ESADE/ICADE, WHU, Mannheim etc. They're certainly becoming a force.
 
It's still Durham/Bristol/Bath/Notts sending most kids into bulge bracket front office outside the six target unis.
 
For FO, yes, but by not too much really. Manchester has like 3x the student body of Bath/Bristol/Durham so no wonder there's such a big number up there (Notts is kinda similar although they are semi-target for FO).
 
From Cont Europe
62 + X + 103 + 132 + 166 + 186 + 150 + 145 + 120 = 1 000 (Bocconi)
33 + X + 51 + 104 + 114 + 134 + 133 + 113 + 90 = 800 (HEC)
4 + X + 12 + 65 + 54 + 48 + 8 + 31 + 64 = 300 (St Gallen)
13 + X + 20 + 29 + 30 + 61 + 40 + 33 + 40 = 260 (Ecole Polytechnique)
16 + X + 25 + 31 + 52 + 36 + 47 + 43 + 30 = 180 (Science Po)
8 + X + 11 + 11 + 48 + 21 + 19 + 28 + 16 = 160 (Mannheim)
8 + X + 17 + 15 + 25 + 20 + 37 + 18 + 13 = 150 (ESADE)
7 + X + 4 + 14 + 23 + 26 + 11 + 16 + 20 = 120 (SSE)
4 + X + 2 + 10 + 10 + 17 + 15 + 12 + 10 = 80 (WHU)
3 + X + 3 + 9 + 5 + 8 + 4 + 5 + 11 = 50 (ETH Zurich)
Non-existent (RSM)

Seems like Bocconi and HEC is the shit
 
useful and quite original way of looking at it. with regards to continental unis, those numbers confirms roughly what everybody knows (I would not take that as a ranking obviously), even if I was expecting something better from the likes of SSE and RSM.
 
I'm also surprised about RSM. Some guy was asking whether he should go to Cass or RSM for a masters and pretty much everybody said go RSM since the reduced costs and the fact that he would still have the same chances; guess that's not the case at all then.
 
Not too bad but I'm surprised universities with a similar reputation e.g. Birmingham and York are that far ahead

Remember this doesn't take into account the size of the university and also they are semi-targets so should place fairly decently.

Saying york/bham "places fairly decently" is a bit strong. They send only a few (which is still an OK number anyway) into BB FO each year so this title goes much rather to the likes of durham, bristol, bath and notts.

Yh, but your statistics also includes MO and BO which i also included in the 'fairly decently'.
