Pre- vs post-MBA exit ops vary by level if you go corporate. Pre-MBA exit ops also include PE, MBA, secondement, and other "Save-the-world" kind of things.

For compensation, here is the source that usually gets cited when this question comes up: https://charlesaris.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Charles-Aris-Strateg…

The consensus seems to be base salary is somewhat flat (with lower growth rate), cash bonus is lower, and stock option compensation at least partially makes up for.

 

Thanks for the link. But this study was done in 2014, so why no 2012 grad data in there? Also, looking at 2011 MBAs, the graph on page seven states that a y.o.y. increase for this cohort is N/A. It can't be that they're misnaming "2011 MBA" to mean a 2013 graduate, because that labeling wouldn't make sense on the undergrad part of the graph ("2012 Undergrad" would, by the same logic, mean 2016 graduate) and would be inconsistent with what seems to be widely recognized starting salary norms which are below the 145k that's listed.
