Interpreting Employment Data
Employment data for the University of Washington full-time MBA Class of 2007 was compiled from responses of graduates who shared their employment information with MBA Career Services.
We strongly urge this data be used judiciously. The median and ranges reported should be interpreted as only one source of information when making a decision regarding the appropriateness of an offer. Market conditions strongly influence salary levels as well as the number of offers extended by an organization. The amount of a salary offer tends to be influenced by a number of factors:
- Functional category of the work
- Location of the job opportunity
- Type of industry and specific company policies
- Length and relevance of prior work experience in the same functional or industry area
- Length and scope of responsibility of professional work experience in business
- Personal attributes deemed highly correlated to success in the role
Therefore, it would not be prudent to assume that all graduates will command similar compensation by virtue of their MBA degree. All the above factors need to be considered when making comparisons.
