MIT Sloan’s Class of 2025 saw a hiring rebound: offers at three months post‑graduation rose to 91.0% and acceptances climbed to 87.1%, reversing last year’s soft employment outcomes. The school’s employment report shows mean base salaries and signing bonuses recovering while incentive‑heavy compensation remained compressed, producing a median total pay that dipped slightly even as top‑end averages inched up. The numbers matter for recruitment, alumni relations and employer engagement: improved placement rates will help admissions messaging, but narrower variable compensation suggests employers are offering steadier packages rather than boom‑era upside. Career services teams should prepare employers and students for continued polarization between stable base salaries and unpredictable equity/bonus upside.
