Forbes evaluated responses from 4,600 graduates from the Class of 2008 to arrive at its top 10 list, polling them on salary and ROI, satisfaction with their education and the preparation it gave them and how happy they are in their current job.
Stanford ranked in the top five among schools across all three categories in the 2013 Forbes survey. Its grads reported higher salaries than any others, with median total compensation of $221,000 five years out of school.
Stanford grads also gave the school top scores when asked about their education.
As far as job satisfaction, Stanford ranked fourth.
Alumni of the University of California at Berkeley’s Haas School of Business reported the highest levels of job satisfaction. Overall, Haas came in just behind Stanford at number 2 in the rankings. For both Stanford and Haas, top employers were all consulting and technology firms.
Dartmouth Tuck School of Business and the University of Chicago Booth School of Business ranked in the bottom quartile for job satisfaction, but they still made it into the top 10 overall (coming in at 6 and 10 respectively) thanks to high marks for satisfaction with their educations and preparation relative to other MBAs.
