Salaries for MBAs in the UK tend to be lower than those received in the US. This may be partly because graduating from top US business schools allows graduates to command higher starting salaries-for some institutions, like Harvard or Stanford, the average would be over &pound;100,000 or nearly $130,000-with even the high-paying industries such as finance and consulting. This trend emerges from the job market where large firms are willing to pay a premium for talent.
The job market, then, has the size and dynamics for these UK-based prestigious schools like London Business School and the University of Oxford, after MBA graduation. Starting salaries here normally range between 70,000 Pnds to 90,000 Pnds, or about $90,000 to $115,000. Much like them, the figures are quite impressive but are comparatively lower compared to their US counterparts. Contributing to this disparity are various causes such as the size of the job market, the price level of a particular place, and regional economic conditions.
A UK MBA experience would also differ considerably from a US MBA, especially on issues of networking and regional expertise rather than pure salary prospects. Though the UK market also presents considerable opportunities in finance and consulting sectors and to some extent in technology, it stands well lagged concerning earnings behind the US.
At last, though it is true that here in the UK, most of the MBA graduates can get high-value employment. However, the MBA salary in UK is relatively much lower than in the United States, a trend set by quite disparate economic indicators and industrial market forces.
