Newmark's Door

Worthwhile question but I have some quibbles with the answer:

1. The ranking compares only Financial Engineering and Quantitative Finance master's programs not MBAs. I presume some MBAs also get jobs in quant finance.
2. The compensation measure is "Base + sign-on bonus," so no fringe benefits or annual bonuses are included.
3. That compensation is not adjusted for cost-of-living differences among where the graduates take jobs. (Yes, difficult to do, but New York City $ and Indianapolis $, for example, would be drastically different.)
4. I wonder if "employment % of graduation day" is the best indicator of job market success. (The original source also has data on "employment rate after 3 months". The two measures could well be highly correlated, but other things equal I think I'd prefer the latter.)
5. No explanation if offered for the two outliers.
