5 Ways a Masters in Management Will Help Your Future Career

42% of students who graduated from LBS’s MiM in 2016 moved into consulting, 34% found jobs in finance - including investment banking, private equity and venture capital, investment management and financial services - while the rest diversified and chose to work in areas such as technology, media and entertainment.

Bart van der Veld graduated from LBS with a MiM in 2016 and is now working as an associate consultant at Bain & Company Amsterdam. In an interview, he explained he owes part of his success to LBS’s amazing careers team. He said: “Their support in preparing me for the career management journey allowed me to achieve my ambition of a role in consulting”.

With a mean base salary of £41,963 and the average bonuses being £7,648, LBS’s MiM students are earning almost twice as much as the typical starting graduate salary. Professionals with a MiM can expect a much higher earning potential than colleagues without a similar qualification.

Companies that have hired from LBS’s MiM in the past include HSBC, Accenture, Amazon, Ernst and Young, J.P. Morgan, Credit Suisse, Google, Thomson Reuters, Goldman Sachs and many more…
