British Business School Grad Nails The Highest Starting Salary Ever



Eat your heart out.  According to BI: For a new Harvard Business School MBA, the median starting salary is $120,000. Top business schools grads have some very lucrative options available, including private equity and fast track corporate jobs.  All of those graduates of top programs apparently just got blown out of the water.

John Byrne at Poets and Quants writes that Manchester Business School is reporting a record salary for a new MBA. A 2012 graduate is apparently going into financial services with an unheard of $1,088,638 starting salary.

That includes the huge extra bonuses that go to those in the private equity business, the salary Manchester's reporting is just base compensation.  ( Hello? That should show how huge this number is. Since the salaries are self reported, this figure should be taken with several grains of salt.)

However if the figure's right, there's a very, very high bar for the next person looking to break the MBA salary record......
