Latin America is home to the most conservative candidates, who expect that an MBA will increase their salary by 212%.
Despite a small increase in salary, applicants in the US & Canada expect a lower post-MBA salary compared to last year. The expected salary dropped from US$153,000 to US$145,000.
Notably, one region has seen an increase in target salary. Western European applicants now expect to earn US$128,000, up from US$125,000 in 2012. Post-MBA Salary Expectations by Gender and Years of Experience
MBA applicants of both genders have more conservative post-MBA
salary expectations compared to last year. Female MBA applicants surveyed this year expected to earn US$107,000, down US$10,000 from 2012, while male applicants’ expectations were down by US$15,000, to US$117,000.
As in 2012, males aged 25-29 still expect their MBAs to have the greatest impact on their salaries (rising from US$35,000 to US$109,000), though the 311% increase is more conservative than last year’s 328%. Females aged 35-39 were the most conservative, expecting an increase of 248% to US$122,000 from US$49,000.
Traditionally, older applicants with higher current salaries tend to expect a smaller premium than younger ones. However, this year there is one exception to this: males aged 35-39 expect an increase of 274%, greater than the 263% premium targeted by 30-34 year old males. The former is also the only demographic which expects a greater proportional increase than last year.
