Consulting: Who’s Happier – MBAs Or Undergrads?

LARGEST SURVEY SAMPLE EVER

Among Bachelor’s degree holders, scores rose in 15 of 20 dimensions. Strangely enough, this segment advanced furthest in International Opportunities, which improved by .694 of a point, nearly double Business Outlook (+.327). In contrast, Bachelor’s-only consultants scored their firms by .241 of a point lower in Level of Challenge over the past five years, mirroring the sentiments of MBAs.

Overall, 63.18% of the MBA sample was Caucasian, followed by Asian (17.19%), Hispanic (5.20%), and African American (2.55%). Another 3.21% described themselves as two or more races. The divide between men and women was 65.69%-to-30.37%, with the remainder declining to answer the question.

Among non-graduate degree holders, the gender divide was 53.43%-to-43.39%. Caucasians represented 66.67% of the survey sample. The remainder included Asians (15.39%), Hispanics (4.31%), African Americans (2.87%), and Multi-Racial Professionals (4.54%).
