What jobs are ONLY available on-campus at a Top-10 MBA program?
So I'm a little over 3 years into consulting and considering my exit options and trying to weigh whether or not an MBA is "worth it." We can skip the general debates around cost, network, peerset, etc., plenty of threads on those. What I'm really curious about, for those of you who have gone, are what jobs are ONLY available to you through on-campus-recruiting at a Top 10 school? Does that change again if you look at only a Top 3 school?
As far as I can tell, the big two areas are finance (mainly IBD, some/limited PE, HF, etc.) and consulting. Now let's say I've had my fill of consulting, and let's also say I'm well aware of the finance oriented opportunities. Besides finance and consulting, what else is there?
I'm assuming that leaves the F500 corporate roles. So of these, what companies/roles make up the remainder of on campus recruiting at the top schools? And are most of those only "easy" to break into from OCR at an MBA? Taking F500 corporate strategy/development as an example, I've had several headhunting opportunities at those groups with titles ranging from Senior Associate to Manager. I'm trying to determine how the opportunities coming out of an MBA would differ from what headhunters are reaching out with now.
Thanks all!
Many of the top corp 500 roles only recruit at top schools too. The sexy corporate strategy and leadership development jobs are competitive.
Marketing and tech is also much easier from top 10 schools.
Are there any good sources to read up on specific roles, companies, salary ranges for those roles at the schools? I know most of the schools publish some sort of information like this (http://www.hbs.edu/recruiting/mba/data-and-statistics/employment-statis…).
Just trying to get a better grasp on what's available through OCR and how that compares to what you can get through pre-MBA headhunters
