Kellogg Jobs Report Shows The Market Is Still Kind To Elite MBAs

Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University

Most Kellogg MBAs went west after graduating, while a smaller but significant number stayed in the Midwest. More than a third (34%) went to work in the West — the highest proportion of Kellogg MBAs in school history — while 29% found jobs in the Midwest. Another 18% went to the East Coast, 11% to the South, and 8% internationally.

“The West Coast was an especially strong choice for our 2Y grads this year,” Kirkpatrick says. “This shift also reflects widespread demand from our employers — more than half of our companies this year hired for West Coast roles in industries ranging from tech to finance to consulting. For example, one of our ’20 grads, Katie, pivoted from a management role in the hospitality industry to a program management role at Apple in Silicon Valley. Meanwhile, Alex accepted a role with Bain in Los Angeles after serving as a senior account manager for Class Pass prior to Kellogg. And Sean accepted a role in Seattle as a senior associate with Arable Capital Partners, a private equity firm focused on food and agriculture, after serving as a finance manager at Kraft Heinz prior to Kellogg.

“Kellogg’s San Francisco Immersion Winter Quarter continues to be a key part of the recruiting process for some of the students accepting West Coast roles — allowing students to intern with high-growth ventures, private equity firms and venture capital firms, while earning course credit and networking with prominent Bay Area alumni.”
