Why do a lot of corporate roles (entry and senior) at the major airlines state preference for an MBA but then the salary offering is subpar (ie 60ish)

The question was basically “What MBA would take this role?”

They’re likely thinking non target MBA, e.g. Loyola Chicago, etc.

Depending on your university 60k can certainly be competitive for undergraduates.

You all are nuts if you think 60k is not competitive for campus hires. There aren’t that many “high” prestige jobs out there and plenty of new undergrads would kill for a starting salary that high.

Why not prefer it? There’s desperate ppl that need to job with mba

Hmm, any other options come to mind if network strategy / revenue management seems interesting yet I don’t care to take a massive pay cut

But 50k in Dallas is probably like 60-65k in DC. So if you got 50k out of school in Dallas that's pretty good.

Hi all, I’m in need of some career advice. Not sure where to direct my attention. I know that I don’t enjoy consulting, but I’m also fairly confident that I don’t like strategy. The things I enjoyed the most was getting into the customer’s head and figuring out what they value, which I think I’m pretty good at. I also enjoy working with others frequently and finding a solution together, instead of having individual workstreams. I can hold my own in front of a crowd as long as I’m confident in...
