Figure 13: Average MBA Earnings by Sector 2007

Figure 13 presents average salaries and bonuses reported by employers, with each industry sector disaggregated to provide greater insight. Different industries have their own methods of providing compensation. Some industries offer a higher base salary, while others offer a high year-end bonus. When deciding between jobs, candidates are recommended to assess their own risk profile and level of financial flexibility.

7.3 BONUSES

Figure 13 also reveals the average reported bonus, which range between £ 0 and $ 46,000 with a sizeable average US $ 24,000. Banks are reporting a massive average bonus of US $ 46,200 with investment banks, in particular, reporting bonuses of between $ 25,000 and US $ 130,000 for first year MBAs. While other sectors will find it hard to compete with these figures, banking bonuses do tend to be much more volatile than those in other sectors.
