FROM THE DIRECTOR

This year an impressive 90% of our 2017 MBA students (December 2016 and July 2017 graduates) reported receiving an offer three months post-graduation as compared to 89% in 2016

The average annual base salary and median sign-on bonus also saw increases from the previous year at US$ 104,800 and US$ 25,000 respectively. INSEAD, as the business school for the world, maintained its diverse and global footprint; 2017 students accepted offers in 64 countries.

Consulting continues to be the most popular sector with 49% of students (33% new hires and 16% returnees) deciding to join or remain in the industry. But, career opportunities remain high for our MBA students in other sectors. Technology, Media, & Telecommunications (TMT) holds steady in second as the most desirable industry among INSEAD students. For the first time ever, fintech has been added as a new sub-sector with 11% of students joining this burgeoning TMT field. The shift occurs as more INSEAD MBAs move into companies that embody the INSEAD value of business as a force for good. These companies are improving people's lives by fostering fairness and increasing transparency in the market. Taking this shift into consideration, the curriculum offers an expanded range of relevant electives, and the Career Development Centre team continuously engages with new market players.

Our multi-campus employer engagement specialists saw more job opportunities in digital transformation and demand for talent willing to experiment and innovate in the workplace. They engaged with 600+ companies and expanded recruiting activities beyond the traditional on-campus interviewing to include networking afternoons, career treks, and talent and networking fora. Following the trend of marketplace disruption, external and internal career events included start-ups and mid-size businesses in addition to big

company brands and conglomerates. We now count four mid-size companies within the top employers list.

Mirroring innovation in the market and to meet the ever-changing talent needs of employers, the Career Development Centre team has created and implemented a unique career coaching model, careers core and electives curriculum, and pre-INSEAD career activities to best prepare students for recruitment activities and life-long career management. Career education includes experiential learning and multiple opportunities to practice and perfect.

INSEAD students complete a full-time MBA in ten months, learning in the most diverse business school environment in the world. All while focusing on the good that business can do and what is happening at the intersection of business and society. More than ever, INSEAD students are primed to solve problems and create value in a fast moving, digital, disruptive environment. A special thanks goes to our recruiters who give our students the opportunity to make that difference.
