Good luck to them!
They have amazing faculty, they just have a terrible program. I have several close friends there going into the job market next year. All want industry. Apparently there is no guidance at all from any of the faculty until you are well into your 5th year. Faculty doesn't care about students at all. It is real NYC spirit.
By the way no guidance from any faculty is a pretty good reason why students sort into fking applied micro shiet

I only know theorists, but from theorists and theory/experiments types they had insane top placements for a good decade.
2009 - Caltech, Brown
2010 - Caltech
2012 - UCL
2014 - Brown, UCSD
2015 - UCSB(turned down HKS)
2016 - Chicago, Marshall
2017 - CBS
2018 - Booth
Makes it a bit surprising to learn that the faculty aren't being supportive now. Or maybe the theory/experimental people are more supportive but students are just choosing to pursue other fields.

I graduated from NYU in the recent past, and this was not remotely close to my experience. I spoke to faculty weekly from across fields and they were nothing but friendly and helpful (I was not a star, so their willingness to help was genuine).
My view is that the recent decline in placements is due to a continued fixation on “structural macro” which just isn’t as popular as it once was. The uptick in desire for industry jobs follows recent NYU success in placements at Amazon and in consulting.

I also graduated from NYU. The 72-credit class requirement is way too high and the real advising only begins during / after 3rd year, and there is almost no interaction before that.
