Inflated average salary figures for media articles, poor talent. But is there anything specific you were asking?

funny

Happy to see the numbers, and how the school is doing. I'm an alum - passed out a few years ago. ISB is a great platform to elevate your career and growth trajectory - but it is what you make of it. No guarantees of outcomes - only opportunities. I'm a promoter of the school and PGP course.

The number's reflect the truth as far as consulting firms and product firms go. I know MBB comp has gone up this year for sure.

To KPMG1's sentiment - we have batches of 900+ people. There are bound to be people above and below the general average. And communication skills / polish are a critical element of any MBA candidate's competitive advantage, at least in strategy consulting- I would be careful about understating it's importance.

If you think it's a sham, feel free to ignore the school and what they're doing. But they've been delivering results for 20 years now at a massive scale. Do your own research to make up your mind, if you're interested. Talk to alums. Do some digging on LinkedIn.

Great only. Any specific aspect you want to discuss?

With ZS offering a ~50 figure (22 in reality), i just find the figures a bit too inflated

And to your statement one time reimbursement shouldn't be part of reports, sorry to say that every B school in India reports the CTC only, and almost every FMCG company has a huge one time compensation.

Now, when comparing the packages it's okay to compare the median across campuses because underlying stuff is anyway same.

Do you think women in the industry are paid lesser as compared to men.
Out of personal experience ,I can see that during compensation discussion HR person tries to convince a women candidate for a lesser package . Now this could also be the case where it is much easier to convince women to take up the job for lesser salary.
Whereas the male team member gets paid high (same YOE , same number of switch , similar prev CTC) though women are equally or more talented sometimes.
