Harvard Business School Although it may not be the first school on the list, Harvard Business School is still regarded as one of the best.

Aside from being known for its rigorous curriculum, Harvard Business School also boasts a strong emphasis on developing leaders who are capable of prioritizing what’s most important. This is also evidenced by the fact that each student is expected to teach his or her fellow students how to influence them. This is also one of the reasons the school’s alumni network is regarded as one of the best in the world. Due to the diversity of the school’s applicants, only about 21% of the program’s Class of 2019 went to management consulting. Despite this, the majority of the students went to the consulting firms that are known for their recruitment efforts, such as Bain & Co. and McKinsey & Co. The median starting salary for a graduate of the school’s management consulting program in 2019 was $165,000, and the majority of them received signing bonuses of $30,000. If you’re looking for top-quality education and a chance to work at a global firm, then Harvard Business School is a good choice. However, the school’s emphasis on consulting has not changed as it has in the past couple of years.
