Dan Black, global recruiting leader at Ernst & Young (EY), aims to hire 200-300 MBA graduates globally before July 2021. Despite the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, Dan’s goal is to keep MBA hiring levels consistent with the last recruitment cycle.
While COVID-19 has changed the hiring process at many global firms, it’s not impacting the value employers place in MBA graduates. According to the Graduate Management Admission Council, hiring of MBA talent is expected to rebound in 2021, with MBAs in consulting and finance earning average projected salaries of between $115 to $145k.
