3 Introduction Since 1990 QS Intelligence Unit, in collaboration with TopMBA.com, has conducted an annual survey of MBA employers worldwide to determine trends in international salaries and recruitment. QS is proud to produce the longest established, geographically broadest and most comprehensive global review of MBA jobs and salary trends. The 2012 International Employer Survey is more extensive than ever and presents an unrivalled overview of the world MBA recruitment market. For the purpose of this report, responses were received from 3,305 (2,157*) respondents from companies in 42 (40) countries, actively recruiting MBAs*. This represents approximately three times the response of the GMAC MBA Employer survey and approximately ten times the response level of the Businessweek MBA Employer survey. 5 4 The 2012 QS Global Employer Survey was conducted between March and July * Comparative figures for 2011 are shown in brackets throughout the report ** QS Global Employer Survey also collects responses from companies seeking to hire Masters and undergraduate-level students. In total 25,000 employer respondents contributed to our survey and reports in 2012 Who will be interested in the survey? This research will be of interest to all who follow the international MBA and recruitment market. It will help three groups in particular to make informed strategic decisions: Companies and agencies that recruit MBAs National and international recruiters will find the survey useful in managing human resource policies, such as whether to determine salaries globally or locally, and whether to benchmark their salaries against peer institutions. Business school administrators and career services offices worldwide MBA program administrators and career services professionals will find the survey valuable for providing guidance to students and managing relationships with recruiters. Current and future MBA graduates MBAs can use the research to determine which industries and geographies to pursue in their MBA jobs search, and to help negotiate an optimum compensation package.

4 Methodology and scope QS TopMBA.com Global Employer Survey, from QS Intelligence Unit, collects primary data on the state of the recruitment market and predictions of future trends from recruiters in general industry, consulting, financial services and technology. throughout the report, we seek to differentiate salaries offered by local versus international employers. QS produces a separate report, QS Global 200 Business Schools Report, which identifies the most sought-after institutions among international MBA employers. 1. Summary of key MBA hiring trends in 2012 Each year, QS continues to conduct the largest survey of employers worldwide, with 3,305 MBA employer respondents contributing to this year s report from a record 25,000 respondents to our 2012 Global Employer Survey. The data includes specific analyses by sector, QS TopMBA.com also collects data directly QS TopMBA.com Jobs and salary trends report shows an overall 12% increase in MBA job geography and year.

Each respondent is designated as being responsible for MBA recruiting within his or her company, whether as a whole or in a division. They are asked to identify their geographical responsibilities, confirming whether they recruit locally, regionally or globally. As the demand for MBAs grows around the world, it is increasingly important to differentiate between local MBA employers who seek MBAs purely from local institutions, versus employers with an international recruitment mandate seeking MBAs from a top tier of up to 200 business schools. In particular, QS further differentiates its research by the objectivity of its position as a third party, operating between recruiters and business schools. By virtue of long-established contacts with recruiters that share their information with QS, alongside the bank of data on MBA recruitment and remuneration built up by QS over the last 20 years, this annual report allows meaningful trends to be identified over time. QS operates the website com which provides career opportunities and networking facilities exclusively for member business schools. Over 100 business schools and 800 employers subscribe to QS Global- Workplace (and QS TopMBA Careers). MBAs = Mobile, Bright, Ambitious = Average 15% Growth in Demand Worldwide Summary of key MBA recruiting trends By Region: This year s QS TopMBA.com report shows that across Africa, Middle East, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and North America, employer demand for MBAs has been robust in Growth in MBA demand in Europe has slowed, but not contracted. The Middle East has been the hottest region with growth of 21% in MBA demand in 2012 and growth of 23% forecast for Growth has centred on the recovery in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. Parts of Africa have also reported increased demand, albeit from a relatively low base, in sectors including energy, consulting and finance. MBA demand continues to grow rapidly in Asia as the qualification is embraced by employers, particularly India and China, and especially in consulting and professional services, manufacturing, IT/ computer services and micro-finance. Employer projections suggest that growth in MBA demand in the region is set to accelerate from 15% in 2012 to 26% in India has now overtaken the USA in terms of volume of reported MBA jobs for fresh graduates in Last year was a watershed as MBA jobs within Latin America became much more plentiful, and this trend is continuing, albeit at a more sustainable growth rate of 14% in Employers in the region are utilizing MBAs as a key talent pool, as companies battle to internationalize across the region. Mexico and Brazil continue to be the engines of growth in MBA demand in the region. Growth in MBA demand in North America remained at a respectable 16% in 2012, but employers are cautious about 2013, with forecast growth of just 2% in Though exhibiting lower growth in percentage terms than many emerging markets, the USA still remains one of the largest markets for MBA employment. Summary of key MBA hiring trends in 2012

5 Summary of key MBA hiring trends in 2012 Despite the Eurozone crisis dominating headlines, Western and Eastern Europe still reported net growth in MBA demand of 5% and 7% respectively in There is particular demand for Chinese and other non-eu students to work in European headquartered companies seeking to expand non-eu exports. Denmark, Germany, France and the UK all reported strong demand for MBAs in the West, while a select group of MBA employers in Russia in the energy and consulting sector reported a growth of 70%. However, Greece, Italy, and Ireland all reported a substantial fall-off in MBA demand as austerity measures hit local employers in particular. European employers are cautious about 2013 with forecast growth of just 2%. By sector: With emerging markets continuing to thrive, the QS TopMBA.com reports another big jump in demand for MBA among employers across the major MBA hiring sectors. As we correctly forecast last year, MBA consulting jobs keep breaking record levels, with a profession, with employers willing to embrace career changers and targeting an incredible breadth of nationalities and skill sets. Our 2012 research reveals that employers continue to seek more experienced MBA candidates, preferably with international experience, combined with strong interpersonal and soft skills. It also shows that employers are increasingly willing to look internationally to find the right talent. In 2012, we identify that a higher proportion of MBA recruiters are recruiting on a pan-regional or global basis, rather than on a purely domestic basis. Among Middle Eastern employers, 87% are targeting local or domestic MBAs, while 67% are targeting Asian 17% jump in demand in 2012, followed by as many local employers in emerging MBAs and 40% are targeting North social responsibility, linguistic ability and 8 a more modest 9% increase forecast in markets expand the overall demand for American or Western European overall academic achievement. 9 MBA demand in financial services is MBAs.

For the fifth year in succession, there forecast to continue. Demand for MBAs in the technology sectors is undergoing unprecedented growth, especially in Asia. More high technology and computer services companies are looking to MBAs to commercialize their products. A concentration of this growth is taking place in Asia, with big US employers actively hiring in the region. Though overall demand for MBAs in the technology sector only grew by 5% in 2012, employers are forecasting a stellar 27% growth in demand in 2013 this would seem to be the place to be for new MBA graduates in MBA demand in general industry (consumer goods, construction, energy, manufacturing, mining, retail etc) is strong, Pharmaceuticals and healthcare companies continue to target MBA graduates, albeit in relatively small numbers and targeting only top-tier institutions. They report an 18% growth in demand in 2012, with projected growth of 18% in Media & entertainment, travel & hospitality were the weakest performing sectors; both showing falls in demand for MBAs in By employer requirements: The MBA recruitment market is probably the most globally flexible recruitment market of any Among USA and Canadian employers, 20% are targeting all regions, with 95% targeting domestic and local MBAs. Latin American employers are the most locally focussed with 97% targeting their domestic and local MBAs. Western European employers are most likely to recruit from Western Europe (82%), but a massive 56% are seeking Eastern Europeans and 29% are seeking Asian MBA graduates. 67% of MBA employers worldwide seek international study experience. Employers strongly agree that screening for language and inter-cultural communication skills are an important part of the hiring process for international MBAs. They agree that the type and duration of study experience is important to employers. They most significantly agree that candidates with international experience out-perform those without. Employers are, in general, satisfied with the technical skills acquired by MBA students, and this result seems to be independent of which business schools the employers recruit from this refers to skills acquired in finance, marketing, e-business, risk management, corporate has been a drop in employer demand for MBAs with less than three years of experience and especially for MBAs with less than one year of work experience, attracting only 6% of employers in MBAs with three to eight years of work experience, account for 60% of MBA employer demand worldwide. Demand for young and pre-experienced MBAs is almost zero in Western Europe and Latin America in both these regions there is an above average demand for MBAs with 5 8 years of work experience. By contrast, Asia-Pacific employers are much more willing to recruit younger MBAs with 0 3 years experience.. General management, strategic planning, marketing, business development and consulting remain the most popular functions on offer. There has been an increase in the number of opportunities in operations and manufacturing, supply chain management and strategic planning this year compared to Summary of key MBA hiring trends in 2012

Among investment Summary of key MBA salary trends in Summary of key MBA salary trends in 2012 MBA salaries have increased substantially in emerging markets and have been fairly stable in Western markets. QS TopMBA.com Jobs & Salary Trends Report provides the first overview of MBA compensation trends in 2012 based on our survey of 3,305 actively hiring MBA recruiters. With no evidence of MBA demand abating in emerging markets, we predict that MBA salaries are likely to jump again in 2013, providing a double-dip global recession is avoided and current growth in MBA demand in emerging markets continues. Total compensation offered by international employers in Western Europe was stable at $103,800 and fell by 7% in Eastern Europe to $84,300. Total compensation offered by international employers in North America fell very slightly by -2% to $108,400, perhaps as these companies look further afield. By contrast compensation offered by domestic-only MBA employers in North America grew to $110,000 (the only region where domestic employers pay more than international employers). banks, offers range from $100-$150,000. Among all employers in Europe and North America, the highest paying sector in 2012 is pharmaceuticals & healthcare, offering an average MBA salary of $100- $150 (offered by both local and domestic employers). Construction and property is second this year, with salaries offered by 51 responding companies averaging $96,500. Financial services are third, with an average salary of $92,450. The lowest average MBA salaries are offered in utilities, law, transportation, travel & hospitality, retail and the public sector, all below $80,000 per annum. As more employers compete in the global market for top MBA talent, we observe an equalization of MBA salaries across regions a trend that has been on-going for over a decade. Western Europe and North American salaries remain very similar overall and across most industries. The gap between the highest international MBA salary region North America and the lowest Latin America is now only 30%, MBA salaries in Asia-Pacific and Oceania vary widely between countries. Australia and Japan are among the highest MBA salaries in the world, five times the level of MBA salaries in Thailand, South East Asia and India, where employers offer among the lowest MBA salaries in the world. There is a growing gap in international salaries and total compensation offered by multinational employers with a regional or global mandate to hire MBAs, compared to local employers.

In general we hire from the top European and US business schools and we are looking to hire from more European schools as they attract better and better people from around the world. Fausto Yanez-Siller, Talent Manager at British American Tobacco -Latin America, looks for MBAs who will become Wellrounded business managers and leaders. This is what we most value in our MBAs. an MBA employment expert and previously head of career services at London Business School says: An MBA qualification is usually effective at bringing about a change in up to two of the big variables either in industry, function or geography but rarely in all three. For example, without an MBA, it is almost impossible to change career to become an analyst at a leading investment bank, or a senior consultant at a top consultancy. An MBA is also a route to career progression for aspiring business leaders. For example, it has become common for engineers and technology managers to take an MBA to help progress from a technical to a managerial position, or if already managing a team, then to reach the next step in their career. An MBA is also increasingly being seen as a facilitator for aspiring entrepreneurs. There will always be the Bill Gates and Michael Dells of this world who drop out of college only to become wildly successful. Yet ask a venture capitalist or an Angel investor what they look for in aspiring entrepreneurs and, beyond the requisite experience in the chosen field, an MBA is usually mentioned. Long-term trends in MBA jobs

9 The chart below shows the long-term trend in MBA jobs worldwide, by sector. Since 1990 worldwide demand for MBAs has grown at an average of 15% CAGR*. This growth was spread across all the major continents and focused on graduates from all of the world s top 200 business schools, in particular. Slow growth in major economies as far apart as US and Japan took its toll from , and demand for MBAs fell by around 20%. From we witnessed resurgence in MBA employer demand, far exceeding previous levels. The 2009 recession proved to be relatively benign for MBAs, although there was retrenchment within financial services. The upward trend in MBA demand is, if anything, accelerating in *compound annual growth rate Since the turn of the millennium, MBA demand in general industry (consumer goods, construction, energy, manufacturing, mining, retail etc) has taken off, as demand in emerging markets has accelerated. QS TopMBA.com survey reports an 11% increase in MBA careers in general industry in 2012, with energy (28%), consumer goods (21%) and metals and mining (40%) being particularly attractive sectors worldwide. Paul Danos, Dean of Tuck at Dartmouth College, explains the enduring appeal of top international MBA programs: Demand for MBA graduates by the great businesses of the world keeps increasing. As businesses grow in complexity and scope, companies need more and more skilled and welleducated leaders. Chart: Index of MBA Recruitment (Year 2000 = 1) Demand for MBAs in the technology sector is undergoing unprecedented growth Emerging markets are playing catch-up with Many more high technology and computer the West, and many companies are recognizing services companies are looking to MBAs to that MBAs represent an important pool of Long-term trends in MBA jobs % p.a. Industry Consulting Finance Technology commercialize their products. A concentration of this growth is taking place in Asia, with big US employers actively hiring in the region. Though overall MBA demand within the sector grew by only 5% in 2012, employers are forecasting a stellar 27% growth in demand in This would seem to be the place to be for new MBA graduates in managerial talent for businesses seeking to grow rapidly. There is a viral effect as well. As more MBA alumni from top business schools have returned home in recent years, as they enter the local job markets they seek to recruit other MBAs, often from their alma mater, once they assume positions that include hiring responsibility. Long-term trends in MBA jobs Source: QS TopMBA.com Jobs & Salary Trends 2011/12 ( Demand for MBAs within consulting has been growing uninterrupted for the last decade and has exceeded all other sectors. As business becomes ever more global and complex, the demand for specialized consultancy skills is growing exponentially, and the MBA qualification is a key selection criteria for a sector which values generalist skills and developed critical intelligence above all else. The chart above reveals that the absolute number of MBAs hired into the consulting sector has more than trebled since 2000, and increased six-fold since This enormous expansion in MBA demand in the consulting sector simply reflects the enormous growth in this industry since 1990 consulting services are estimated to have generated over US$100bn in 2007, up from US$10bn in 1990 for which MBAs are the primary talent pool. The chart also reveals that MBA demand in financial services has also increased dramatically, doubling between 2000 and 2007 and, following a period of retrenchment, accelerating again in Despite the ongoing effects of the financial crisis, MBA demand has remained remarkably resilient in this sector over the long term. Consulting and financial services account for 50% of MBA hires at many top business schools. However, demand in financial services is not recovering at the same pace as consulting, within developed markets.

10 Demand for MBAs around the world in 2012/13 5. Demand for MBAs around the world in 2012/ is proving to be another good year for MBA recruitment with employers around the world stocking up with new recruits after a lull.

Western and Eastern Europe have been the underperformers in 2012, but have still reported overall demand growth impressive when the turmoil that has affected financial markets in the region is taken into consideration. The table below shows the percentage increase (or decrease) in numbers of MBA job opportunities reported by employers in 2012 compared to 2011, by region and their expectation for As mentioned, Middle Eastern employers report the most rapid growth: a 21% increase in MBA job opportunities which continues with 23% growth forecast for Asian employers report a 15% increase this year and acceleration to 26% growth in In Asia, the report points to a continuation of a 2011 trend, as companies, and not necessarily multinationals, recruit larger numbers of MBAs. As Professor Tom Robertson, dean of The Wharton School, says: It is abundantly clear that the emerging worldwide economy is now vibrant with possibility for Asian businesses. The positive news is that the developed economies of North America and Western Europe are also growing this year, with MBA demand increasing 16% and 5% respectively. It is clear, however, that employers in these regions are becoming cautious about the impact of financial turbulence and government austerity policies, and growth in both regions is forecast to slow to just 2% in Region 2011/ /13 Africa & Middle East +21% +23% Asia Pacific +15% +26% Eastern Europe +7% +4% Latin America +14% +9% US & Canada +16% +2% Western Europe +5% +2% Source: QS TopMBA.com Jobs & Salary Trends Report 2012/2013 ( The surge in employer demand in emerging markets has inevitably brought about a change in behavior of international MBA students. A few years ago, an international MBA was a route to a new life in the USA, Canada or Western Europe. In 2012, an international MBA is as much about learning international business practices and creating a network which can be a powerful career advantage for MBAs seeking to exploit the rapid growth of China, South East Asia, Latin America, Middle East and other emerging economies. Mauro Guillen, dean of the Lauder Institute at Wharton, points out: A higher percentage, perhaps as many as two out of every three international students, are returning to work in their home countries, or in emerging markets, rather than staying in the USA.

The trends reported reflect the hiring patterns of the responding companies, year on year. The table provides a good indication of changes in MBA demand given the large overall sample of respondents to QS survey in each of these countries. 1 1 India 16% 29% 2 2 United States 16% 2% 3 3 United Kingdom 14% 4% 4 6 Sout Korea 30% 20% 5 5 China 20% 35% 6 7 Mexico 28% 8% 7 4 Argentina 6% 10% 8 11 Brazil 22% 16% 9 8 Germany 16% 1% Japan 15% 17% Demand for MBAs around the world in 2012/13

11 Demand for MBAs around the world in 2012/13 Indian employers reported more MBA job opportunities in 2011 and 2012 than the United States, with one financial services company in India reporting over 7000 MBA job opportunities this year. In India, MBAs are paid far less, on average, than in the West, yet their salaries still compare very favourably with less qualified local managers. The tendency for IT outsourcing and technology companies to recruit MBAs in large numbers is continuing across India. Marina Garcia of ICICI Bank in India says the attraction of MBAs to her company Latin America has been a relatively inactive region for MBA recruitment, with most Latin American MBAs choosing to study and work abroad in Europe or North America, but this year s survey suggests this is changing, as both multinationals and local employers are more actively targeting MBA hires for the region. Because of the need for internationally minded leaders, Latin American companies are now reaching out to US, Spanish and other European schools to pick up talented local students who have chosen to study overseas. The business cycle plays a major part in the short-term trends in MBA hiring, with local MBA jobs trends in Latin America in the number of internship opportunities 20 is the Ability to think logically, demand patterns fluctuating quite rapidly. 21 communicate sequentially and clearly, use of right expressions, strong foundation in areas of specialization, general business world awareness, an attitude towards learning and above all strong in morals and ethics. Banks in China, Japan, Singapore and India are recruiting a large number of MBAs. China seems to be maturing as an MBA hiring market, with plentiful opportunities in the professional services and consulting sectors, although these numbers are now growing more slowly than some other sectors. The electronics/high- tech sector is also recruiting MBAs in abundance in China at present. The UK and Germany are the only European countries to feature in this top 10 list, a dramatic change from a decade ago when the same list would certainly have featured France and Spain. The UK shows a continued commitment to MBA hiring, which reflects the dominance of the service sector in the UK economy, as well as the sensitivity of MBA hiring to the sector s performance. Yet banking, which remains at the heart of the UK economy, remains fairly subdued in terms of MBA hiring. Germany is quite different from the UK in terms of the profile of companies hiring MBAs. Technology, engineering and software companies sit alongside consulting firms as the major MBA employers MBA jobs trends in US & Canada As predicted last year, MBA demand in in North America slowed to a still-respectable 16% growth in 2012, but employers are cautious about 2013, with forecast growth of just 2%. The USA remains one of the largest markets for MBA employment. Projected increases in MBA recruitment levels 2011/ /13 US & Canada +16% +2% A partial economic recovery, the stabilization of the financial services, the recovery of some manufacturing industries and the appearance of new mid-sized MBA employers on campus, have all contributed to the growth. Look for increased, yet still uncertain, upward trending in MBA recruiting in the 2013 academic year, with the technology sectors leading the way. Ian Lynes, manager of QS Global- Workplace says Traditional big MBA employers have recovered from the drought in 2008/9. We are now seeing a pickup in financial services recruitment in the US, and the technology sector is vibrant. In North America there is still a surplus of applicants compared to places at schools, making gaining entry to traditional top schools highly competitive. This is also encouraging good candidates to look overseas or at nontraditional distance, part-time and one-year full-time MBA programs, many of which are yielding good career outcomes. Internship programs still the favourite screening mechanism of MBA recruiters have been a popular first step for companies testing the MBA recruitment market, and this year saw the birth of several. We expect a steady increase as the try before you buy trend continues at major companies. Recovery in financial services has been much slower than expected as firms climb out of debt. Hiring through contract assignments has been a popular and safe way for firms to pull in expertise and retain the flexibility they require on their balance sheets. Early in the recruiting season there was some concern among MBA recruiters in financial services that the economic crisis had damaged the industry s employment brand enough to negatively impact candidate yield on campus. However, indications are that the impact has been minimal. Student interest in financial services remains strong. Look for the pharmaceutical industry a traditional destination for a significant number of MBAs to continue recovery in 2013, with perhaps an increase in campus presence from smaller and less familiar firms. Some of the larger players have increased their MBA hiring considerably in We ve taken the approach that MBA recruitment is an important part of building a talent pipeline... Our sense is that companies will continue to recruit on campus so that when the economy improves and MBA recruitment increases once again, they don t have to regain their footing, says Jodi Goldman, head of MBA recruitment at Pfizer. Last year was a watershed as MBA jobs within Latin America became much more plentiful. This trend is continuing, albeit at more sustainable growth rate of 14% in Employers in the region are utilizing MBAs as a key talent pool as companies battle to internationalize across the region. Mexico and Brazil continue to be the engines of MBA growth in the region. Projected increases in MBA recruitment levels 2011/ /13 Latin America +14% +9% The QS TopMBA.com Employer Survey reveals a 28% increase in MBA demand in Mexico, a 13% uplift in MBA jobs in Brazil, and a 26% increase in MBA jobs in Venezuela. Claudia Vila of L Oreal, Mexico explains why her global luxury goods company seeks MBAs in Latin America We look for MBAs because they can bring analytical skills, innovation, strategic thinking, someone who deals effectively with all races, cultures, ages. Someone who has the functional and technical knowledge and skills to do the job. Someone who is good at bringing the creative ideas of others. Demand for MBAs around the world in 2012/13

12 Demand for MBAs around the world in 2012/13 Sandra Shwarzer, of INSEAD career service, has reported a big increase in job opportunities for INSEAD MBAs in South America in the last few years. Jose Antonio Cruzado, regional director for QS TopMBA.com in Latin America, states: Brazil is experiencing dynamic economic growth and increased demand for MBAs. Brazil is also the engine of Latin America at present, with connected economies, especially Peru, booming from the regional growth in demand. Another factor in the region is China s quest for raw materials, resulting in a growing demand for Chinese-speaking MBAs across Latin America. 22 In the past, Latin America has been a relatively MBAs, as do consultancies and major industrial We do see increased interest in hiring Chinese The UK market has been helped by ongoing 23 inactive region for MBA recruitment, with most companies. The biggest such recruiters are MBAs and international MBAs who speak the strong demand in the consultancy sector. James Latin American MBAs choosing to study and BBVA and Banco Santander, which have major Chinese languages, reports Vinika D Platt, a partner in charge of MBA recruiting at work abroad in Europe or North America. emerged as regional banking leaders in Latin Rao, head of Asia at INSEAD business school s BCG observes: In general we hire from the top This year s survey suggests this is changing America, though HSBC is not far behind. career services, which has campuses in France European and US business schools and we are as both multinationals and local employers and Singapore where MBA students study. looking to hire from more European and UK are more actively targeting MBA hires for the MBA jobs trends in Western Europe schools in particular, as they attract better and region. Because of the need for internationally better people from around the world. minded leaders, Latin American companies are now reaching out to US, Spanish and other European schools to pick up the talented local MBAs studying overseas. Mexico and Argentina are being used as a base for multinational companies to grow their Latin American operations. In Mexico, MBA hiring is spread broadly, but with a big impact from North American headquartered automotive, pharmaceutical and industrial holding companies. Mexico is by far the largest MBA recruitment market still in Latin America, and has grown dramatically since 2010, with over 70 companies reporting active MBA recruiting plans in Alejandra Herrera of Asturer in Mexico says companies are beginning to hire more MBAs because they can offer great potential to grow into leaders within the organization as Mexico moves further away from the family business model. Professional service companies like Ernst & Young, Deloitte, KPMG, Accenture and IBM all report big jumps in MBA hiring throughout Latin America, with the biggest increases in Argentina. The attractions of Buenos Aires seem to be a factor for these professional service companies. We are seeing a region-wide improvement William Davilla of IE Business School. Many European banks now own the major Latin American banks and they actively recruit Despite the Eurozone crisis dominating headlines, Western Europe still reported net growth in MBA demand of 5% in Denmark, Germany, France and the UK all reported strong demand for MBAs. However, Italy, Greece and Ireland reported a substantial fall-off in MBA demand as austerity measures hit local employers in particular. The slow return to pre-recession hiring rates among the big banks should not disguise the health of other sectors and the particular vibrancy of the consulting sector within the region. Denmark reported a 19% uplift in MBA demand in 2012, followed by Germany at 16%. The UK growth rate of 5% was slower than previous years. Projected increases in MBA recruitment levels 2011/ /13 Western Europe +5% +2% Career Service officers at business schools in Europe are cautious about the outlook in the region and report seeing European MBA graduates heading out to Asia and Middle East in greater numbers. One source of growth in Europe is bi-lingual Chinese-European language speakers. Europe gradually has to acclimatize to Chinese investment in European business and China is also becoming a major market for European exports. As a result, future business leaders with experience of both China and Europe are rapidly increasing in demand among recruiters. Currently, the focus continues to be primarily on China, Hong Kong and other Asia-based positions. However, as Chinese investment in Europe grows, we anticipate increased interest in hiring bilingual MBAs who can communicate effectively and adapt comfortably to both the site office in Europe and the HQ in China. Ursula Schwarzmann, staffing manager at GE Energy Europe says, We are experiencing a very dynamic hiring trend. We hire employees in almost all European countries, with an emphasis on nine main countries: Austria, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Poland, Russia, and the UK. Typically 15-20% of all new hires are for entry-level positions (MBA or Masters) has seen some improvement in MBA hiring within financial services. The financial centres of London and Frankfurt are recovering and bank profits begin to pick up once again, but MBA hiring is still restrained. The threat Demand for MBAs around the world in 2012/13

13 Demand for MBAs around the world in 2012/13 of increased government austerity measures, regulation and banking reform seems to be a major cause of these conservative hiring policies. HSBC is among the banks which are upgrading their MBA hiring targets. Many European banks have strengthened their capital/asset ratios and are now highly liquid and looking for talented traders to make good use of all the cheap government money available in the system MBA jobs trends in Eastern Europe Eastern Europe has been the slowest growth region in the world over the past five years, but reports a 7% increase in MBA demand in In Russia, a select group of MBA employers in the energy and consulting sector reported a 70% growth in demand this year. Romania also reported growth in demand in 2012, with several multinationals hiring MBAs for outsourcing operations in the country. This improvement has been offset by falling demand in Hungary, Czech Republic, and Poland. There are also many consultants in finance gravitating towards Russia. Susan Haddon of Merrill Lynch in London, states: MBAs bring a diverse skill-set to the organization Greece, perhaps not surprisingly showed Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan are oil economies from their studies and previous work experience. a decline in MBA demand, following the Projected increases in MBA recruitment levels - that are encouraging their local young Furthermore they provide us with languages that government s austerity measures.

MBAs are very focused on their next career step and are very thorough in their approach to working for the right organization. A sample of over 50 companies in Germany indicated a 16% rise in MBA demand in The German economy is usually the engine of MBA demand in Western Europe. Strong demand for German goods in Asia in particular, has fuelled a demand for Asian MBAs to join German companies. Likewise, many service companies are desperate to recruit German MBAs to serve their successful German clients. Demand for MBAs in France improved in 2012 as companies seek fresh talent to help them emerge from difficult trading conditions. A sample of over 40 companies in France indicated a 15% rise in MBA demand in However, some French employers remain more sceptical about MBAs. Tamsin O Bryen of Sodexo says, While the level of learning of MBAs is good and gives a strong insight into the organization, I think MBA schools need to be more careful in managing their students expectations. A lot believe that the certificate makes them a natural leader but that is not the case all of the time. An MBA doesn t act like a magic wand Ireland also showed a fall in MBA demand in 2012 for the second year in succession. Ireland and Italy have been sluggish for the past two years, but they both have a growing number of financial companies regularly recruiting MBAs, as well as an expanding consulting industry. Dominique D Arcy of Manchester Business School states, increasingly the MBA is becoming the mainstream qualification for recruiters in many Western European countries, as has been the case in the USA for many years. She adds: strategy consultants are recruiting actively every year, and they have been joined by the professional service companies like KPMG, E&Y and Deloitte all of which are targeting MBA recruiting. Many industrial, technology and telecoms companies have been enticed into the MBA market in the last five years, and they have enlarged the total pool of MBA employers compared to the pre-dotcom era. Eastern Europe +7% +4% Russia has sustained strong growth in MBA demand throughout the recent global financial crisis, fuelled by the energy boom and expansion of their financial services sector. This growth has resumed in 2012 after a lull in Elizaveta Komolova, an HR Consultant with Morgan Hunt in Moscow says Russian companies Are looking to hire more and more MBAs compared to recent years. An MBA is becoming a default attribute of a successful manager. Komolova adds MBAs in Russia are expected to be more practice-orientated, have more structured knowledge and a broad business network. MBAs are known for their ability to think long term and use their business contacts for the best. Aleksey Elizarov of LC Community Consulting in Moscow says, The basic motive for choosing MBAs is [a young professional s] readiness to answer strategic questions for our clients. demand in energy and finance resulted in a 65% uplift in MBA demand in Kazakhstan in 2010 and a small increase in 2011, though this has slowed in Central governments are also encouraging state-backed companies to recruit more MBAs, both locally and internationally. Good Czech or Hungarian candidates are highly sought after, but mainly outside their home country with demand locally showing a decline in As mentioned, Romania has a growing domestic demand for MBAs, and increasingly EU recruiters are hiring Romanian candidates who now hold EU citizenship. By contrast Bulgaria continued to report a small drop in MBA demand in 2012, as the country continues to be affected by government austerity measures in Greece MBA jobs trends in Asia-Pacific Demand for MBAs around the world in 2012/13 Katya Rudelson, Egon Zehnder International, Moscow believes MBAs are seen by some Russian employers as the less risky option when hiring at a senior level: As the market matures, there is increased expectation that Russian MBAs can create value for their companies and that having an MBA is a proxy for having a certain outlook, training and business approach, thus it appears to reduce the risk of a hiring mistake on the part of the employer. However, outside consulting and banking as well as select industry companies that have MBA graduate management development programs, it is too early to say that Russian companies are massively recruiting MBAs. This year s survey shows that across Asia employers are continuing to embrace MBAs as they pursue global expansion. The MBA is increasingly in vogue throughout the region. Asian candidates are among the highest GMAT scorers in the world, and are focused on developing excellent technical skills often at the expense of integrating fully in the social aspects of the MBA. But Asian recruiters are looking for ambitious, well-rounded MBAs.

Some employers are willing to hire from local business schools at relatively low salary levels, while other Asian employers remain fully committed to hiring from top North American, European and Australian business schools and are often willing to pay the higher salaries expected by their graduates, with a slight cost of living adjustment. The rise of an elite cadre of Asian business schools is underway, but will probably take another ten years to be fully established. MBA demand continues to expand in Asia as the qualification is embraced by employers, and particularly India and China, especially in consulting and professional services, manufacturing, IT/computer services and micro-finance. Employer projections suggest that growth in MBA demand in the region is set to accelerate from 15% in 2012 to 26% in For the last few years, the really hot MBA market has been India, which has experienced an explosion in employer demand: up 43% in 2010, 57% in 2011 and 16% in 2012, with an astonishing 29% growth forecast for India has now overtaken the USA in terms of volume Demand for MBAs in China is also strong, up 20% in 2012 and forecast 35% growth in 2013, for the sample of responding employers. Demand is so strong that the Municipality of Shanghai has funded the launch of its own local business school Shanghai Advanced Centre for Finance to compete with other local schools like CEIBS and Cheung Kong Business School. Employers in China could not find enough Chinese MBAs returning from US and European business schools, spurring the local government into action. Edward Hyun, VP Strategic Relationship Management for American Express Global Network Services Asia, continues to report strong demand for international MBA hiring to meet pipeline leadership needs throughout the Asia region. He comments: MBAs bring the maturity, business and cultural awareness as well as the leadership skills to take our company forward. Even during difficult economic conditions we remain committed to our MBA hiring program, not just in Asia but around the world. favour MBA holders who have an international perspective, strong interpersonal skills, as well as a good understanding of marketing, finance or strategic planning MBA jobs trends in Middle East & Africa The Middle East has been the hottest region, with growth of 21% in MBA demand in 2012 and 23% forecast for Growth has centred on the recovery in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, but parts of Africa have also reported increased demand, albeit from a relatively low base, in sectors including energy, consulting and finance. Murali Krishnan, Head of HR, Byrne Investments in Dubai, says the biggest constraint on more MBAs coming to the Middle East is their Willingness and ability to relocate to the Middle East. Employers report a 29% increase in MBA demand in 2012, with a 21% increase forecast for 2013, lead by energy and financial services companies Saudi Aramco is the largest MBA employer in the region. The UAE seems to be on the path to recovery, also showing a 57% jump in MBA demand led by banking, energy and IT companies with offices in the UAE. Banks like Standard Chartered are basing many of their global back office operations in Dubai. By contrast, MBA demand in Africa, except for a few multinationals hiring in the region, remains subdued. Meryll Folb of Standard Bank of South Africa observes, Salary is a big barrier for African employers. Demand for MBAs around the world in 2012/13

MBA jobs by sector in 2012 and forecast for 2013 As predicted last year, this year s QS TopMBA.com report shows growth in MBA job opportunities in 2012, continuing at a slower pace into 2013 across the major MBA hiring sectors.

Quality MBAs could not be better matched to the needs of the consulting industry. We can draw upon the full range of their knowledge as we allocate them to different types of client assignments. They have the knowledge and confidence to hit the ground running, utilising both their hard skills and their welldeveloped interpersonal skills, which are so important in our client facing business. says James Platt, partner in charge of MBA hiring at Boston Consulting Group in London. The consulting industry has grown at a phenomenal rate for the last 20 years, becoming a US$100 billion industry. Normally cyclical by nature, the consulting industry has defied the credit crunch and continued to grow. Platt confirms We have been growing at double-digit rates since 2003 and we expect that to continue for the foreseeable future. We expect companies to continue to require organizational change as a result of the recession and then strategic support as they enter the recovery phase. The constraint on our growth will be our ability to hire good people of the right quality. MBAs will continue to be crucial to our growth. Responses to the QS TopMBA.com Employer Survey suggest that larger strategy consulting recruiters continue to defy the economic climate and to seek many fresh MBA graduates each year. In addition, the professional services, technology and outsourcing firms are restaffing their strategy departments. Deloitte, KPMG, Ernst & Young and Cap Gemini are all actively expanding their business advisory/consultancy divisions. There has been a massive expansion of hiring by these companies in emerging markets, with thousands of MBAs being hired into regional hub offices in Argentina, Brazil, China and India, as well as consistent recruitment within the western economies.

Virtually all of the leading firms are hiring MBAs. In particular, the big strategy players MBA jobs in financial services MBA demand in financial services is recovering from the 2008/9 crash. 16% growth in 2012 following similar growth last year means that MBA demand in financial services is now substantially above 2007 levels and this growth is forecast to continue. Financial services firms have recovered quickly from the credit crunch, as banks take advantage of the increased availability of cheap capital. However, the large hiring volumes are concentrated in emerging markets, with much more modest growth in MBA hiring in developed economies, which are affected by the prospect of banking reforms and sovereign debt issues. Once their position in relation to these issues is clarified, it is likely that banks in developed economies will significantly upgrade their MBA hiring to make up for the five years of cautious recruiting, which could result in a hiring boom. However, employers remain cautious and the outlook for 2013 MBA hiring is for only slight growth overall and no growth in North America or Western Europe. like McKinsey, BCG, Accenture, Bain, and Booz are recruiting actively. Accenture and IBM Consulting are large players in outsource consulting projects and expect continued growth in this activity as companies look to reduce costs.

The credit crunch caused huge cut-backs in MBA hiring among some banks, especially CitiGroup and Bank of America, which received the largest US government bailouts. Despite redundancies among experienced bankers, entry-level recruitment remained steady in most other banks throughout the credit crisis. Demand for MBAs collapsed during Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and others cut MBA hiring by up to 80% in some offices was completely different, with many banks hiring actively. Employers and students are backing-up this viewpoint. Sarah Thomas, head of MBA Recruitment at Standard Chartered says MBA hires are critical to building our leadership. Those banks most exposed to Asia, Russia and Brazil are continuing to perform well. Belinda Regan of Fidelity International prioritises MBA hiring because of intensive training from business schools and the fact that candidates are usually very motivated to commence a new career. So what turns a bright new business school graduate into a successful banker? According to Angela Cassidy, a recruiter at Deutsche Bank, her firm looks for high achievers who are both focused and motivated and who can demonstrate a good understanding of our industry. We also want people who are bright and energetic and not afraid of working hard. We don t just look at what an individual has achieved in the workplace, but also take into account what they have been doing outside their academic activities. Most people associate investment banking with mergers and acquisitions, but most of the top banks look to recruit MBAs into global markets (sales and trading securities, fixed income and derivatives), managing assets, structured finance, corporate finance and increasingly on-and-off balance sheet hedge funds. There are also many back office positions in risk, financial control and technology. According to Dr Taylor, Professor of finance at Cambridge s Judge Business School, the areas which were hit hardest in 2008/9 are bouncing back. These include M&A, private equity and asset management. Market risk and compliance departments may see increased MBA hiring as banks seek greater security and control of risky investment classes. In fact, an overall emphasis on compliance experience may be spreading throughout the financial services industry. Dennis Nason, CEO of Nason & Nason, an executive search firm specializing in the financial services industry says, [Financial services recruiters] want to see others who have been in a controlled Opportunities in credit derivatives, which expanded to US$ trillions in value in recent years and are the source of current problems, are likely to continue to see cutbacks. It is not just banks which recruit MBAs into financial services. GE Capital is now one of the biggest recruiters of MBAs worldwide. American Express is also emerging as a major player. Insurance steadily hires MBAs. In the US there are a number of insurance companies that recruit ten or more MBAs each year such as AIG, Travellers (part of Citigroup), CIGNA and Liberty Mutual. A new feature in recent years has been the entrance of hedge funds, private equity and venture capital houses into MBA recruiting in significant numbers. In the past they have focused on more experienced MBA alumni recruited through a network. Today, they are recognizing the need to recruit younger MBA graduates to meet the growing market opportunities. Dr Taylor remains convinced that the prospect is for strong long -term growth in financial services and for MBA career opportunities, once the current market uncertainty passes.

A growing number of high technology and computer services companies are looking to MBAs to commercialize their products. A concentration of this growth is taking place in Asia with big US employers actively hiring in the region. Though overall technology demand only grew by 5% in 2012, employers are forecasting a substantial 27% growth in demand in This would seem to be the place to be for new MBA graduates in 2013, with particularly strong growth in Asia, Middle East and North America. Technology Apple is now the most successful high tech company in the world and, along with Microsoft and Oracle, is undertaking an MBA hiring drive, recruiting into finance, sales, marketing and product management. Chloe Chometon of Oracle Ireland looks for MBAs with International exposure [and] structured thinking. Tom Kozicki, Director of Career Services at UC Irvine says the high tech corridor on the west coast remains vibrant. The web is attracting MBAs, with household names like Google and ebay snapping up entrepreneurially minded graduates. Staffing programs director Judy Gilbert says Google is still looking for risk-takers that means having a start-up on your résumé is a plus, even if the company went bust. Yet a career at Google offers MBAs much more stability and longevity than offered at dotcoms in the past. 2012/ /13 Africa & Middle East 20% 38% Avaya Communications is one of the largest recruiters of MBAs in the technology field, riding the wave of mobile phone growth in Asia. Telecommunications companies such as British Telecom and Vodafone are very active. According to Odesa Stapleton, director of talent management at Verizon Communications, We wouldn t want any potential MBAs to assume that we are not hiring. We continue to seek top talent across the organization; in good times and bad, we need to be out on the campuses. Asian technology recruiters are hiring actively in China, Taiwan and Korea. Although we still lack many Chinese technology recruiter respondents in the research, Korea is an example of the dynamism of technology in Asia MBA jobs in general industry Since the turn of the millennium, MBA demand in general industry (consumer goods, construction, energy, manufacturing, mining, retail etc) has really taken off, as demand in emerging markets has accelerated. This year s QS TopMBA.com survey shows an 11% increase in MBA careers in general industry in 2012 with energy ( 28%), consumer goods (21%,) metals and mining ( 40% ) being particularly attractive sectors worldwide. Media & entertainment, and travel & hospitality were the weakest performing sectors; both showing falling demand for MBAs in General industry Growth in demand for MBAs in general Industry is not surprisingly greatest in Asia, but growth is being seen around the world. Our general industry category is a broad grouping of industries covering aerospace, automotives, chemicals, and logistics, manufacturing and steel. Each industry displays distinct trends, but a common theme is the continued recovery in MBA hiring in 2012, following a very good More and more industrial companies are fully embracing globalization, and understand that MBAs represent an essential pool of international managers who are capable of working in diverse cultures and business situations. In particular, multinational supply chains and procurement require internationally-minded, multilingual managers, making MBAs a natural talent pool. A sizeable number of MBAs who do find roles in the industrial sector will do so with multinational companies such as General Electric, Samsung, Toyota and Motorola, where specific MBA induction programs have been 2012/ /13 the norm for over a decade. Internationallyminded European companies like Siemens have established MBA entry programs. The energy sector continues to report strong MBA recruiting with a 28% increase in MBA careers in energy in There seem to be two drivers of this trend. The search for alternative energy sources is attracting many MBAs into smaller, entrepreneurial organizations. Secondly, as London Business School reports many of the big oil companies will need to replace their senior management over the next ten years as they come up for retirement. These companies have identified that they need new MBAs for their leadership programs and are offering exceptional packages to get the best people. Exxon Mobil and BP are among the largest MBA employers in the energy sector, though the impact of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill cast a shadow over the prospects of all big players in the oil sector as governments increase regulations to limit drilling.

Given the continued high growth rates in economies like China and India, demand for MBAs is buoyant and spreading throughout North and Southeast Asia. Exporting companies in the West are also benefiting from the recovery, with a rising numbers of MBA careers in industry and manufacturing in both Germany and the USA. Eaton Corporation is a diversified power management company with sales of US$11.9 billion. Casey Rasata, head of MBA hiring says, At Eaton, we lowered our overall hiring forecasts for both fulltime and internships in 2008 and 2009, as a result of the recession. However, numbers improved for 2010 and 2011 hiring and we re expecting normal hiring levels going into this fall s recruiting season. She adds: Our emphasis on doing business right and the fact that our products are sustainable by design are two major factors that attract MBA students to the opportunities we have to offer. on salary straight after an MBA. Since the year I graduated I had to learn that the true value of my MBA was the knowledge I acquired and not the job I got straight after graduation. MBA recruitment is very sensitive to economic conditions and we should not value studying an MBA by the salary we obtain after graduation. Inflated MBA salaries remain a problem for recruiters in the industrial sectors. A consistent message from recruiters in industry is that they are having to look outside the top-tier business schools to find the talent they need. However, they are almost all reporting success in their search. The major pharmaceutical companies have always been very active MBA recruiters, and pay the highest salaries after consulting and investment banking. They also offer attractive benefits and international mobility. They have remained committed to MBAs throughout the last decade, and growth in recruitment numbers is steady rather than spectacular. Merck has had a fairly traumatic few years in terms of patent losses and has significantly cut back MBA hiring. The loss of patents on blockbuster drugs may affect the ability of some big pharmaceutical companies to maintain a high level of MBA intakes,eli Lilly may be the next company to be affected. Yet many smaller pharmaceutical and healthcare companies are aggressively pursuing MBA hiring to help them meet their growth potential. As in other industries, pharmaceutical companies are increasingly looking to find recruits who truly want to build a career in their industry. Neil Currie of Johnson & Johnson says, I recruit international MBAs, and candidates often are reluctant to share vital information about their personal and career objectives. We waste their time and ours going through several interviews on campus and on site [and] make offers only to discover that they want to work in consulting after all.

19 Demand for MBAs around the world in 2012/ Functional roles on offer to MBAs MBAs come from very diverse backgrounds and industries and as many as 50% will look to make a career change after graduating. This is reflected not just in the wide variety of companies seeking to employ MBAs, but also the variety of functional roles they enter after completing their course. Many companies recruit MBAs into more than one function. For example, Our MBAs are generally found in one of three functions: HR, finance and/or marketing/strategy confirms the head of MBA hiring at 3M. As the table below demonstrates, there has been little significant change in the functional roles offered to MBAs in 2012 compared to General management, strategic planning, marketing, business development and consulting remain the most popular functions However, these proportionate figures hide the significant growth in absolute numbers of jobs reported by responding employers in 2011/2012 compared to 2009/2010.

This contradicts the policy of several top-tier US business schools which are actively recruiting pre-experience candidates in the pursuit of ever higher average GMAT scores: a policy which employers evidently do not agree with. Joanne Kim, talent acquisition manager at GE, South Korea says the key to successful MBAs at GE is not just academic excellence but hands-on work experience. Finance - Other General Management IT / Technology Marketing Operations / Management Other Roles Sales /Business Development Strategic Planning Supply Chain / Logistics Trizon Energy in USA, argues strongly against pre-experience MBAs: They lack of maturity, and feel they can command more money/prestige than undergrad counterparts when they really have minimal advantage. Too many simply get an MBA because they couldn t get a job after undergrad too long in school so don t understand the real world, plus they have no business experience. 6% of employers are seeking eight plus years of work experience. However, this experienced group typically fall outside the needs of mainstream on-campus MBA recruiters, and the true demand for this group is unlikely to be reflected fully in this research. They are more likely to find a post-graduate career through means other than on-campus recruiting.

Employers are, in general, satisfied with the technical skills acquired by MBA students, and this result seems to be independent of which business schools the employers recruit from. This supports the view that many of the core components of the MBA are broadly available to a high standard: skills acquired in finance, marketing, e-business, risk management, Chart: Importance and satisfaction with MBA skills, among Employers in corporate social responsibility, linguistic ability and overall academic achievement. However, soft skills such as interpersonal, strategic thinking, communication and leadership are more important than hard MBA skills according to MBA employers around the world. According to these international recruiters, business school graduates are still not meeting expectations in terms of their soft skills. There has been a long-standing shortfall in leadership and interpersonal skills, which is apparent year after year in this research. his firm selects MBAs based primarily on Personal skills like leadership, communications skills, and negotiation skills. Charles Tsieh, Head of HR at Lorem, Taiwan, confirms the key to successful MBA hires is attitude and communication skills.

MBA salaries and compensation The chart below shows that, whereas compensation has increased, international MBA salaries have remained fairly stable in 2012 compared to Africa and Middle-East saw a 9% increase. Asia- Pacific saw a jump of 7% to 63,000. MBA salaries in other regions were fairly flat. Nevertheless, at the elite end of the MBA hiring market we see increases in salaries offered by mainstream international MBA employers.

In fact, in every region of the world, except North America, international recruiters are paying higher salaries and bonuses, on average, than their domestic counterparts. Multinational companies coordinate recruitment on a global level, and do not want to drive top candidates away from key regions because of a salary differential. As international companies set up operations in emerging markets, they are increasingly willing to pay more for MBAs, who they see as critical for building a foothold in each region. Over time, it is likely that differentials with local companies will diminish, as they respond by trying to attract talent for equivalent positions globally with more competitive salaries and bonuses. The average MBA bonus payable by international MBA employers in North America fell slightly to $17,700 in 2012, from $23,000 in By contrast the average bonus reported by international employers in Asia- Pacific increased to $16,000 in 2012, double the level reported the previous year. For the time being, domestically focused companies around the world are salary sensitive when hiring MBAs. Mauricio Rodriguez of CBS Steel India says, The most crucial decision is to decide about their pay package.

Katya Rudelson, Egon Zehnder International, Moscow warns of generalizations when looking at overall salary figures in the region: When it comes to compensations, the jobs taken by Russian MBAs who have studied abroad are not mass market roles, thus there is not an average salary and each case may be viewed individually Comparing MBA salaries in North America and Western Europe The financial crisis and subsequent recession in the West certainly had a negative influence on MBA salaries in 2010, but the impact was not severe and from last year there is evidence of resumed upward pressure on MBA salaries. MBA salaries offered by international employers in North America in 2012 have risen slightly compared to the previous year. MBA salaries in Western Europe increased by 6% last year and have dipped by 3% in 2012, when reported in US dollars (which can more than be accounted for by the depreciation of the euro against the dollar suggesting a rise in euro terms).

What is happening at the top end of business schools? There are a small number of business schools which report average salaries significantly above the TopMBA.com average. The highest salaries from the previous MBA recruiting season were reported by an Australian business school Macquarie Graduate school of Management at US$143,000 (undoubtedly boosted by the strong Australian dollar). Two European business schools followed closely behind: Vlerick Leuven Gent in Belgium (US$140,000) and IMD (US$129,000). Both target more experienced professionals over 30 years of age on average, and this greater work experience has a direct impact on the average salaries they achieve, which are significantly higher than average salaries reported in TopMBA research.

Salaries typically dipped slightly in 2008 and 2009, but have risen since, but not consistently. These schools report salaries between 20-30% above the TopMBA. com average for all schools. This can partly be attributed to the higher proportion of their graduates who enter the financial services and consulting industries. Stanford reports an average salary for those entering financial services (28% of class) which has a range from a low of US$47,500 (banking) to a high of US$250,000 (private equity). A big attraction of an MBA qualification is not just the salary uplift, but also the likely bonuses. Bonuses continue to ensure that the MBA qualification offers superb returns on investment for almost all MBA candidates, with an average payback period of between two and five years.

25 MBA salaries and compensation 6.5. Strategies for MBA salary analysis The downside to such high average salaries for MBA graduates is that some employers become disaffected with MBAs, or have excessive performance expectations relative to non-mba staff on lower salaries. Patrick Smith, Bank of America, USA believes many MBAs have unrealistic expectations about starting salaries and the speed of advancement. There are more multinationals looking to hire MBAs on standard packages irrespective of the country in which they work (except for perhaps small cost-of- Most MBA recruiters agree with Sebastian Pav, director, Sage Solutions India, that they key living adjustments). to a successful MBA career is Making them An overall rise in job opportunities for understand that they shouldn t focus too much MBAs, relative to supply. As this report 48 on money in the initial phase of the career, but Even though the survey reveals that MBA indicates, we have seen a doubling or are following suit. 49 focus on learning. As mentioned previously, the growing In the last five years, a larger number of employers are looking to recruit MBAs from non top-tier business schools, having found salaries and candidates to be unapproachable at the elite institutions. This trend has continued in 2012, with a regionalization of demand, as employers seek the best MBAs from the best schools in each region, rather than competing with investment banks, pharmaceutical and consulting firms which tend prioritize the top 50 business schools globally. Mesha Mott, Meadwestvaco USA confirms, Depending upon the universities reputation and the skill sets required, salary requirements may be misaligned with what the candidates actually bring to the table. MBA graduates are known for their analytical ability. In negotiating salary offers or deciding on target regions for a job search, it is important to take a step back from the numbers and think of the bigger picture. Job applicants should consider the cost of living when comparing salary packages across regions the real, versus the nominal, wage a company and country offers. The OECD publishes annual research comparing purchasing power between countries (a good proxy for the cost of living). According to the OECD, the purchasing power in Mexico is over 25% more than in the US. graduates are paid 20% less in Latin America than in the US, graduates working in Mexico will enjoy a standard of living comparable with that of their US counterparts. By contrast, purchasing power in Japan is 20% lower than in the US, so, the higher cost of living will result in a lower standard of living if the same salary is paid as elsewhere Regional & country review of MBA salaries & bonuses in 2012 MBA salary differentials across regions have been steadily narrowing over the last ten years. This gradual equalization in MBA salaries has been driven by several factors: trebling in demand for MBAs since Yet the number of graduating MBAs has grown at a much slower rate, and the number of MBAs graduating from the top 200 business schools most highly sought after by employers has remained virtually the same. An expansion of global trade, hence the growth in the number of companies in each country looking to recruit MBAs. An increase in the number of MBA alumni in senior management or in roles responsible for hiring, who are better informed of the value of MBAs compared to traditional HR managers. Increased availability of information on average MBA salaries available online and in social networks, enabling candidates to demonstrate their true value when negotiating with local employers. It is inevitable that differentials between regions will remain, not least due to: The large variations in cost of living between countries The tendency for MBA students to be much younger in some regions (especially Asia) compared to others. Variations in the extent to which an MBA is accepted as a generally required qualification for senior managers in a country. The USA still remains the most MBA-centric job market for managers, although Canada, the UK, Mexico, Australia, India, China, Korea and Japan number of local companies seeking MBAs at salary costs benchmarked against lower local managerial salary levels, especially in India and South East Asia and Latin America. Availability of locally educated MBAs from less prestigious business schools willing to accept significantly lower salaries MBA salaries and compensation Such recruiters have reported greater success looking beyond the traditional pool of schools. The message for newly graduating MBAs is not always to chase the highest short-term salary offer, but to look for an organization which will lay the foundations for a successful long-term career, otherwise recruiters will look elsewhere; especially in the current economic environment.

26 MBA salaries and compensation The tables below show average compensation in countries in which we have received more than 20 employer responses. We do not normalize for local versus multinational responses in the country figures, which means that there can be significant variation year on year. These country figures should be used as an approximate guide only, whereas the regional figures are based on large response samples and are much more robust. The top five countries in terms of average MBA compensation in 2012 are: Australia ($142,700), Switzerland ($139,400), USA ($113,800,) Japan ($111,500), United Kingdom ($107,600) USA & Canada North American companies have a long tradition of MBA hiring and MBA salaries have fluctuated only slightly (no more than 10%) during the last decade.

The recovery in the US market is not as strong as recruiters were anticipating last year and as a consequence MBA hiring companies remain cautious, with a dampening effect on compensation. The tables below show that the average reported salary in the USA is $89,300, and provide some comparisons with data selfreported by business schools in the previous recruiting round of The average MBA salary for Canada is $85,000. Some of the best-known US business schools listed below pay average salaries of 10-30% above the national average of $89,000, as reported for the graduating class of These business schools typically have between 30-40% international students in their class. There is significant variation in salaries paid in different states across the USA, with schools close to the major cities of New York, Boston, San Francisco and Chicago yielding the highest salaries.

Employers in France, Germany, Russia, Spain and Denmark all offer average MBA compensation in excess of $90,000 per annum, on average. The strength of Swiss MBA salaries in 2012 can partly be explained by the predominance of financial service companies in Switzerland, which actively recruit MBAs, partly by the strengthening of the Swiss currency, and partly by many multinationals and hedge funds moving their headquarters from London and Frankfurt to Switzerland to reduce their tax bills, resulting in the need for significant hiring of MBA talent.

Japan reports the next highest compensation in the region of $111,500, followed by Hong Kong at $101,900 (among multinational employers local employers are excluded from these figures). Asia-Pacific is a large territory and MBA salaries vary significantly between countries. India and China have typically reported much lower MBA salaries than more mature markets like Japan, Korea or Australia.

This included significant numbers of employers in India offering salaries less than US$30,000. Asian multinational employers targeting top international business schools are becoming more competitive, and are offering salaries that compare directly with their Western counterparts. In addition, salaries at local business schools are catching up with western schools as they increasingly attract international candidates to meet the needs of local employers. The high salaries reported by Australian business schools are partly a function of the strengthening of the Australian dollar, but even adjusting for this effect reveals an increase in MBA salaries in Australia, driven by the strong demand for MBAs among multinational employers across Asia and the strength of Australian business schools in recruiting and placing Asian candidates throughout the region.
