Today, we start a new series on the MBA Mission Blog: “The Compensation Report.” Unlike our “Mission Admission” and “Monday Morning Essay Tip” features, which appear weekly, the Compensation Report will be posted less predictably, due to the fact that it is more dependent on news than opinion.
While candidates have many reasons for pursuing their MBAs, a boost in salaries is often at or near the top of their list. Amid a tumultuous economy, where teh power is shifting back from the employee to the employer, this series will help candidates stay on top of hiring and salary trends across industries and thus help inform MBA goal statements and career choices.
