This is incredibly accurate.
I'm speaking as a senior at a college to which a huge number of firms come to recruit and a huge percentage of the senior class heads into banking or consulting.
I'm doing neither, but the draw was definitely there. Especially the part about lifestyle appeal over money appeal. When companies recruit, they never explicitly talk about how much they pay, but their recruiting videos and the demeanor of the recruiters and employees who come to visit say everything needed.

I heard someone say that during the height of the dotcom boom, Yahoo made over a billion dollars by putting a big purple chair in the lobby. Something about social signaling to attract the right sort of people on the cheap.
