MBA Pay: Real Estate

Real Estate is considered a ‘sexy’ field for MBAs…but it doesn’t necessarily pay like it. Technically, INSEAD grads earn the most in the field to start at $190,832 – better than the highest-paid grads in Consulting and Technology. Of course, the sample is small: Just 4 INSEAD grads entered Real Estate. Columbia Business School and the Wharton School represent a more accurate projection of topline pay. Here, CBS and Wharton grads pull in $150,000 and $147,500 in median base pay, sending 26 and 14 students respectively into the field. North Carolia’s Kenan-Flagler School led all schools with 43 Real Estate hires (who average $125,000 in base to start).
