Growing Number of Harvard Grads Heading for MBA Jobs in Technology
By QS Contributor
Updated UpdatedAccording to preliminary figures released by Harvard Business School, 18% of its MBA graduates from the Class of 2013 have taken up positions within the technology field.
With 85% of this year’s MBAs having already received job offers since the completion of their studies, this figure is unlikely to change drastically before Harvard Business School finalizes its data for the year in November. If and when it is confirmed, the number of its leavers accepting MBA jobs in technology will have jumped by 10% in the last three years alone.
The school was reluctant to offer a definitive explanation for the continuing rise, choosing instead to emphasize the increasing appeal of an industry that is generally product-based and hands-on. The school also recognized that more MBA students enrolling come with a background in technology.
Figures Reflect Global Forecast for a Huge Rise in MBA Jobs across the Technology Sectors this Year
With more and more high technology and computer services companies looking to MBAs to commercialize their products, the industry is set for unprecedented growth this year.
According to the QS Jobs and Salary Trends Report 2013 employers are forecasting a substantial 27% growth in demand for MBAs in 2013. With particularly strong growth in Asia, Middle East and North America, this would seem to be the place to be for new MBA graduates in 2013.
