MIT Sloan’s Class of 2025 saw a rebound in job offers and acceptances compared with the prior year, according to the school’s employment report: 91.0% of job seekers had offers three months after graduation, and 87.1% had accepted. Hiring momentum returned even as compensation patterns shifted. Median total pay fell to $209,130 from $214,450, reflecting fewer outsized outcomes, while mean total compensation inched up to $248,797. Core base salaries strengthened—median base rose to $175,000—while variable and other compensation categories compressed, producing a stabilization rather than a boom. Business‑school leaders and career offices will watch these dynamics as they affect recruitment messaging, employer relations and alumni expectations. The data underscore that employment recoveries can coexist with a tempered distribution of top‑end pay.
