What range of MBA Programs will give you a Good Shot at Six-Figure f500 jobs?
If you're aiming for MBB consulting or IB, they recommend you need to go to an M7 school, or t15 at the lowest. Getting those long-hour, high-paying, prestigious consulting and finance gigs is what draws many to the M7.
But what if you don't care about consulting or finance, but want a $100,000+ f500 job that's 50-60 hours? Say something in marketing, brand management, rotational programs, FLDP, corporate strategy, operations, sales, business development, product management, leadership development, etc.
What MBA programs would be worth the time, effort, and cost if six-figure f500 jobs are your goal? M7? T15? T20? T30? T50? Etc. Of course getting these positions isn't a walk in the park, but they seem a lot less competitive than MBB consulting or finance. So for f500, I doubt it's "M7 or bust."
Thanks.
Dude a 100k job at F500 from an MBA program that works 40 hours a week can be easily done from a T50 program... I don't think you're setting your sights high enough. Most of the post-MBA F500 roles are close to double that from M7 (total comp, not base salary). And very few corporate gigs are 50-60 hours
Eh? There are very few corporates that are going to pay $200k+ or anywhere close to that from any school, including an M7, from a salary + bonus + stock + def comp perspective. There are exceptions (some tech roles etc) but probably looking at $150k-180k for the BEST roles. I have friends here at Booth going to corporates for less than that. There are definitely some that pay more but $200k is not the norm.
Anyway, for the OP, the further down the chain you go the more it's going to depend on your prior experience. If you're looking to change careers and functions at a school in the 30-50 range then you shouldn't expect a six figure salary, but you might get lucky. If you're looking for a step up at a new firm in your current line of work and have 5-10 years experience, you might see a big boost. So it's tough to answer the question in a vacuum.
