Boston is one of the most intellectually rich business markets in the United States, anchored by an extraordinary concentration of universities (Harvard, MIT, BU, BC, Tufts, Northeastern, Babson) that produce exceptional business talent and power a uniquely knowledge-intensive local economy spanning investment management, management consulting, life sciences, and technology. The city's investment management sector — home to Fidelity, State Street, Putnam, and dozens of major asset managers — rivals New York for institutional finance depth, particularly in mutual funds, fixed income, and retirement services. Boston's booming life sciences corridor in Kendall Square has made it the global center of biotechnology business development, creating demand for finance, marketing, and operations professionals with scientific literacy. Bain & Company calls Boston home, making it one of the top US markets for management consulting careers.
