Tuck remains among the best business schools for graduate job placement and compensation.
Each year, Tuck graduates enter the workforce prepared to make an impact. Tuck MBAs offer top companies around the world a distinct combination of skills that make them highly adaptable, poised for success in any environment. Tuck’s latest employment data, released today, reinforces that fact. The class of 2025’s outcomes emphasize the caliber of its students—ambitious, collaborative leaders who will contribute from day one.
Within three months of graduation, 90 percent of T’25s received a job offer, and 87 percent accepted. Among international students, 92 percent received an offer and 88 percent accepted. When expanding the timeframe to within six months of graduation, 93 percent of the 2025 class received an offer and 91 percent accepted.
This year, 92 percent of graduates sought employment, 268 students total. Of those, 70 percent secured their roles through school-facilitated activities—a testament to the ample resources available to Tuck MBA candidates, including the best adviser-to-student ratio among top MBA programs.
“T’25s entered a dynamic hiring market and rose to the task. Their outcomes are a reflection not only of their remarkable talent, but also of the tight-knit and supportive community that surrounds them,” says Stephen Pidgeon T’07, executive director of career services. “Year after year, our students distinguish themselves with their commitment to leading collaboratively, creating spaces where all can contribute and success is achieved collectively rather than individually.”

Whether pivoting careers or advancing in their fields, the class of 2025 landed in an array of industries. The top three for Tuck’s latest MBAs were consulting, financial services, and technology. Leading the way was consulting, gathering 41 percent of the class, while financial services and technology both grew in representation compared to 2024. Up three points from the year prior, 27 percent secured roles in financial services and 13 percent in technology, up from 10 percent. The top location for the cohort was a draw between New York and Boston, with both welcoming 27 percent of T’25s. The San Francisco Bay Area rounded out the top three, welcoming nine percent.
Tuck’s 2025 graduates were not only highly sought after, but also highly compensated. T’25s reported a median annual base salary of $175,000 and median signing bonus of $30,000—the combined median compensation of $205,000 sustains a school record. Median salary in the two top industries of consulting and financial services held steady at $190,000 and $175,000. This year, 83 percent of the class reported receiving a signing bonus.
“The success of the class of 2025 is not only emblematic of where they are today, but of the trajectory they’re on,” says Pidgeon. “These graduates are thoughtful, principled leaders who will shape organizations and communities into the future, at a time when businesses around the world greatly need the qualities that Tuck MBAs possess. We are excited to watch their continued impact unfold.”
