As you can see in the chart below, fresh MBA grads from Harvard who took jobs in private equity, consulting and at hedge funds earned the same average base salary – $150k. Those who entered investment banking take home an average salary of $125k, though they received the largest median signing bonus of $50k. Investment bankers and consultants were also much more likely to receive a signing bonus. Roughly 94% of each cohort were given a bonus after accepting an offer; those percentages dropped to 33% and 27%, respectively, at hedge funds and private equity firms/VCs.
