A business master’s is a significant investment, but the return on investment (ROI) pays measurable dividends. Recent findings from the Graduate Management Admission Council’s (GMAC) Corporate Recruiters Survey has shown that business master’s graduates are more likely to earn a healthier salary premium than new bachelor’s hires.
Using data from PayScale and the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, we take a closer look at some of the highest paying careers you can have with a specialized business master’s, including the MBA.
Business analyst
Average salary: $61,000 in the US
Also known as business consultants, business analysts are a key player in any organization. They need top analytical thinking and problem-solving skills to operate data modelling practices in order to review and improve business processes, structures, and efficiencies. Strong communication skills are also essential as business analysts liaise with clients, stakeholders, and an interdisciplinary team.
Keep in mind that salary is dependent on the size of the organization, the sector you work in, and the complexity of the project you are working on.
Earning your degree from a top program, such as EGADE Business School’s new Master in Business Analytics, can also help significantly, as it lays the groundwork for a career in business analytics.
