According to a press release from employee branding company Universum, young professionals in the U.S. would rather work at tech companies than investment banks, government agencies or healthcare organizations.
In Universum’s study, over half of the ten most popular places to work were tech-related, while every investment bank on the list had become less desirable since the previous year’s rankings, reports The Wall Street Journal.
