'06 MBA Grads Getting More Job Offers, Higher Salaries
The Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) reports that this year's MBA grads are seeing more job offers and higher salary and bonus packages than their predecessors were a year ago.
GMAC's survey of b-school graduates found that the average starting salary offered to this year's MBAs was $92,360, compared to $88,626 in 2005.
Two-thirds of job offers included a bonus with an average value of $17,603.
52 per cent of 2006 graduates said they had received a job offer while they were still in school. That figure was 50 per cent in 2005, 42 per cent in 2004, and 36 per cent in 2003.
Almost 66 per cent of survey respondents rated their MBA program as an outstanding or excellent value. 29 per cent described their program as a good value.
The GMAC survey collected data from 6,139 students at 147 business schools in the U.S. and abroad.
