I agree with you that recruiters will want to hear nice words about their company, but at the same time, I believe that the firm should value one's honesty. Even in my engineering college days, in an interview with Cognizant, I had told them.. "I have no particular fascination for your firm, for me its just the beginning of my career". Incidentally the recruiter liked my answer. Same I did in a company called Symphony 3 years back.."I am looking for a change purely for higher package - if your offer is 50% more than my current offer, I will accept it" Intererstingly, I got the offer though I didn't accept it, as it was not 50% higher :) The point I am trying to make is, you will stick with the firm for long ony if you have joined it on a positive note. Dear Alum, congrats for your new fabulous job.. I liked your statement.. "marriages and b-school jobs are made in heaven. the rest is a process of discovery..."...!!!!

A couple of my classmates also didn't land any jobs till the very end. But, trust me, we have done REALLY REALLY well in our careers so far. One of them is now second in line in command in a business unit in Infy. The other is with a SEXY IT co in Blore (which is also on campus this year, and i gather is on of the "hot" jobs in ISB this year) As for me, without sounding too boastful, I can safely say if things go according to plan (still keeping my fingers crossed) any of my batchmates including all those guys who typically make the ET headlines for circuit braking salaries would probably give an arm for the job that I could be shortly landing... so, keep pegging away dude. marriages and b-school jobs are made in heaven. the rest is a process of discovery...
