<p>I'm planning to get an MBA in marketing from one of the top b-schools. What's the salary range I can expect upon graduation if I were to work in the technology industry? Thank you in advance.</p>
<p>Anyone know?</p>
<p>friend who graduated from kellogg last year told me that she gets 125k. she works for a large cpg.</p>
<p>For Berkeley-Haas, a top 7 business school according to USNews: [For</a> Employers - MBA Employment Reports - Haas School of Business](<a href=“http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/groups/careercenter/07_08Stats.html#SIX]For”>http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/groups/careercenter/07_08Stats.html#SIX)</p>
<p>What’s CPG? Consumer packaged goods?</p>
<p>125k straight out of business school and working in marketing would be quite high. Most recent MBA graduates enter marketing at the associate/assistant brand manager/marketing manager level. Base salaries there are typically in the $80 - 95 k range. Many cpg companies don’t pay bonuses at all at this level (P&G, for example). I don’t know specifically what salaries or bonuses would be in “technology” since that encompasses a very wide variety of companies and brands. The folks that I know who work at companies like Genentech and Big Pharma make about what I stated above.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies. Let’s say that I already have a Master’s in electrical engineering, and would like to work in the technology sector after graduation. What can I expect to earn in this case?</p>
<p>Almost all top programs have extensive salary/placement data available on their websites, in many cases including a breakdown by region, and industry.</p>
