Introduction from the Executive Director
We have had another strong year
in this exciting market with 96% of
our MiM 2015s accepting job offers
within three months of graduation and
seven graduates starting their own
businesses. Our graduates and their
successes are contributing to London
Business School’s aim: To have a
profound impact on the way the world
does business.
The most noticeable trend this
year was the number of graduates
accepting jobs in the consulting
sector, increasing to 40% of the
class from 31% the previous year.
Finance as a whole was similar to the
previous year at 35% of the class.
Within the finance sector, investment
banking was stable at 18% but
there was a slight reallocation from
diversified financial services toward
the buy-side, with an increase of 5%
of the class going into investment
management.
As consulting hiring increased, fewer
graduates entered industries such
as technology, industrials, energy
or the consumer/retail sectors. 25%
of our MiM 2015s chose to work in
these sectors, as opposed to 35%
of our MiM 2014s. The increased
appetite from consulting firms for
our MiM graduates also impacted
the diversity and concentration of
companies hiring our MiM 2015s.
This year 94 companies in total
hired our graduates compared to
105 last year, and of those, 21 hired
two or more graduates compared
to 25 companies last year. This is
due to large hiring numbers at firms
such as BCG and McKinsey who,
respectively, increased their London
Business School MiM hires from four
and five last year to 11 and seven this
year.
Our London location continues to
attract approximately half of our
graduates, but we stand out amongst
most business schools given more
than half go on to pursue careers
outside of their place of study. After
London, the most popular geographic
regions were the rest of Europe (23%)
and Asia (17%). 2015 also saw a
stable increase in overall salaries
with the mean rising by over 4% from
£36,295 to £37,890, largely driven
by a 10.4% increase in the mean
consulting salary.
It has been another great year and we
are proud of what our MiM graduates
have achieved. We are particularly
excited by the growth of our Early
Career programme portfolio, with
the launch of the Global MiM this
year and the upcoming launch of
the Masters in Financial Analysis
in September 2016. I would like to
take this opportunity to thank our
recruiters for trusting our talent to
work for your business.
