Best schools for PT placement

This is bad advice. Harvard is clearly the most successful place. Don't overthink it.
If I were applying for grad schools now, and actually wanted academic employment after the degree, I'd only consider the following in the US: Chicago, Cornell, and...
Well, that might be it. I mean, there's an outside shot that you could get a job out of another program. But those two schools are your strongest shot at the moment. Brown is an interesting place. Lots of high-powered hires and big recent investment in theory -- but too early to say if any of that matters for job market success. -
Yale "fell apart" is a bit silly, they lost one important person. Granted, she was probably the best at placing her students of anyone in her generation, and Yale will probably not be as good without her, but several senior faculty whose students place pretty well are still there. Let's not get carried away.

Chicago has been placing better than Harvard for a while now. There is no reason to believe that won’t continue.

In the last decade, we've seen Chicago Placements at Columbia, Penn, Michigan, Cambridge (2), UCLA (2), UCL. I leave it to others to fight out which of these is better than the rest, but this seems like a good collection of top placements.

Sure. Lots of top depts are stacked with Harvard grads. But placement in recent years clearly favors Chicago. If you're interested in getting a job now (and don't have the luxury of jumping into a time machine to go back to when Harvard was placing well), I'd recommend going to Chicago. The past five years or so, they've easily been the strongest program for placing students.

That's great and all. But luckily for UC grads, you don't control hiring decisions across the subfield. And if you pay attention to actual, recent hiring trends, you'll see that actual departments with actual jobs to offer seem to disagree with you.

Berkeley has some great faculty, but placements seem to have fallen off in the past few years. Is this a function of faculty losses (WB, SS) or something else?
Northwestern and Yale have lost some big names recently. It will be interesting to see what happens with them.
Columbia, Brown, and Penn have made some good hires. Curious to see how this impacts placement.
