Director's Message
The INSEAD MBA Employment Statistics for 2024 highlight the resilience and adaptability of our graduates in an evolving global economy.
Despite a challenging global hiring landscape, 80% of our graduates secured job offers within three months of graduation. This achievement is noteworthy given the international mobility of our graduates, with career moves spanning an impressive 54 countries—affirming INSEAD’s position as the most global of all business schools. Completing one of the world's most intensive and diverse MBA programmes, INSEAD graduates are uniquely prepared to navigate complex global hiring landscapes. This underscores the value INSEAD MBAs bring to employers worldwide.
Consulting remained the leading industry, attracting 55% of graduates, followed by Corporate Sectors (21%), Financial Services (13%), and Technology, Media, and Telecommunications (TMT) (11%).
We observed some shifts in hiring trends, particularly in the consulting sector, which is recalibrating in response to the rise of AI. Overall compensation trends remained stable, with the median base at EUR 111,400.
The Middle East continues to rise as a vibrant career destination, with 22% of graduates taking up roles in the region, particularly in the UAE. With the largest alumni network in the Middle East among top business schools—and more than 70,000 alumni in over 175 countries globally—INSEAD MBAs are well-placed to lead and succeed across industries and regions.
As we turn to 2025, we look forward to continuing our mission of empowering, connecting, and educating responsible leaders as they navigate their lifelong career journeys.
