Why job offers have declined for Harvard MBA grads

Recent data from top-tier business schools indicates a slowdown in the job market for new MBA graduates. While graduates are finding it more challenging to secure full-time offers compared to a few years ago, there is a silver lining: median starting salaries for MBA holders have increased. At Harvard Business School, only 86% of this year’s graduating class seeking employment received job offers, a noticeable decline from the 95% and 96% placement rates of the 2022 and 2021 classes, respectively.
