MBA Salaries Rise - So Do Expectations
MBA hiring is hitting a level that grads have not enjoyed in over five years, BusinessWeek reports.
BW cites a survey by WetFeet Research & Consulting that found that over two-thirds of '06 MBA grads received multiple job offers, and that 80 per cent of MBAs had secured jobs by the end of May.
MBAs' salary expectations are rising along with recruiting activity. The average base salary that grads said they expected was $98,650. By contrast, the average value of actual salary offers was only $95,781.
The five most popular employers among this year's crop of b-school grads were McKinsey & Co., Goldman Sachs, Bain & Co., Google, and The Boston Consulting Group.
