Good strong placement for Columbia fenance yet again.
VM Columbia to Stern
-
Not sure if AG likes her very much. In fact AG lobbied against her in the department even if he lobbied for her publicly. It’s a dead end if your co-author says you are not good enough. How VM got stern is a mystery yo me. She didn’t get it because of AG but more like inspite of AG.

This is the most damning bit. Everyone who ever worked with her (outside Columbia) says she VM is not bright enough. Everyone, including people at the NY fed, her co-authors and then you see Columbia Finance pushing her, you feel a sense of mistrust. I’m surprised with the stern placement but good for her.

Everyone knows VM is a lemon. This is a test of DEI. If i’d wanna put a price on the DEI privilege, this is an ideal experiment.
Lmao but the resentment against her is stronger among those who know her than against those who don’t, why might that be? My buddy at Columbia has known her since her first year and said many couldn’t stand her even then.

Only AP (Stanford) and IP (MIT) got offers at Columbia. Why this vengeful trolling against VM? Just because she is a Pajetta?
A lot of JMCs who worked very hard have been losing to DEI + HRM for a while now. They lose out on good conferences, awards, placement and this is just an outlet to vent.

KFC and KS previous year, they don't even have an R&R like VM.

It’s only like this for Columbia though. Women at other top schools don’t regularly overplace. (even naming one per school over the past 5 years would be tough). Why/how are they so good at placing women?

Ohh please KS JMP was very strong. VM does not have an R&R either (unless her co-authored New York doom paper got one recently) but those real estate pubs should be discounted IMO since they are multi-authored. Advisor wrote in his letter that she VM did all calibrations and solved the model, but I doubt because she couldn’t answer basic questions about the model. Highly likely that VM was only an RA/free rode.

Here’s the strategy:
2 years before the job market find your best woman JMC. Give her all the resources (VM was given additional funding, visited HBS, when was the last time anyone from Columbia visited elsewhere?) give her all the awards, best advisors, comments and help her with the JMP, give co-authorships without contributions (assessment is simple, had she contributed to the real estate papers l, she’d have known what’s happening, you can tell from how clueless she is about the mechanics of the model), then the entire department pushes her at every step. All this at the cost of their male JMCs who get no awards, no co-authorships and absolutely no support. So yeah, that’s how Columbia manages to place their candidates. KS was strong in her own right, LM was strong too (although a case can be made that she spent 11 years doing PhD), KFC always weak (but her JMP asked an important question and was a reasonably well executed paper), VM is weak unconditionally. -
WEho are KS & LM? KFC is this one, right? https://www.kimfecramer.com/
