Summer Experiences and Industry Breakdown 15 How and When Freshmen and Sophomores Found Positions 15 Positions Reported 16‐19 Introduction Each year, Career Services surveys Penn undergraduates to gather information about their summer experiences. In 2007, a total of 440 College of Arts and Sciences students participated in the survey, of which 312 are members of the Class of 2008, who reported on their summers between their junior and senior years. Among survey respondents from the College of Arts and Sciences:
• University of Pennsylvania (23) is the top summer employer for College students, followed by Goldman Sachs (8), UBS (6), Bain (5), Lehman Brothers (5), McKinsey (5), and Morgan Stanley (5).
• 110 lived in New York City, 48 in Philadelphia, and 21 in Washington DC. • Survey data confirms the importance of networking: over 33% of survey respondents obtained
their summer jobs through contacts/family/friends/faculty. • 34% of juniors found their internships through on‐campus recruiting and career services leads. • Among juniors, the average full‐time monthly pay was $2,225, which represents a 7% decline
from 2007. Compared to 2007, the percentage of juniors who were employed in the financial services industry increased significantly (from 15% to 26% of survey respondents).
• There appears to be a shift towards financial careers as students advance: Among freshmen and sophomores, 37% worked in a nonprofit and 17% worked in finance; among juniors, 25% worked in a nonprofit and 26% worked in finance.
