An MBA degree in Private Equity and Venture Capital jobs is pretty much a standard. Over 50% of the respondents were MBA’s (or had an international equivalent post-graduate degree) and 82% in total have an advanced degree of some sort. It turns out the pay difference, however, is not all that significant. The survey indicates that MBA’s earn a base salary 19% higher than non-MBA’s. This gap is narrowed by the difference in bonus payout, where MBA’s receive a 6% smaller bonus. The vacation benefits for both MBA’s and non-MBA’s were found to be similar.
