There are significant benefits to an MBA, from the friends and networking opportunities to the work experience, job prospects and significant business knowledge. Despite all this, possibly the most attractive reason for doing an MBA isn't even something students experience during their studies - it's the post-MBA salary. Most graduates can look forward to a significant bump in pay after their course is completed, but this in itself can be dependant on a wealth of factors - not only their industry and position but the country they choose to live in.
The QS TopMBA Jobs & Salary Trends Report 2018 has just been released, and it lists the top nations in the world for MBA salary pay this year. These are averages taken from respondents to the QS Employer Survey, and will, therefore, vary depending on industry and job role.
This infographic lists the top 10 countries for MBA salary around the world this year, find out which came top:

The top country this year is Switzerland - unsurprising given the country's famed high salary levels and robust currency. The top five is composed of two European countries (Switzerland and France), two North American countries (Canada and the USA) and Australia. Only the top two nations this year post a basic salary (bonus not included) of more than US$100,000, something to which many MBAs aspire.
