But Im kinda skeptical about the credibility of this report....
How about a school like Yale SOM who has a big portion of graduates working for government/non-for-profit? The average salary is expected to be low sure.
If BW wants to be scientific enough, they should bulid a generalized linear model where you can plug in different factors such as school, W/E, pre- and post- mba experience, GMAT, GPA, UG major, age, gender, citizenship, race, and etc....lol~~
dude... let me quote the page again for you... the data was collected from "MBA graduates at five points in their careers". Still think the "bonus" is sign-on bonus? hehe...
In my opinion, you really can't judge by the numbers alone. It also depends on what kind of job you get after MBA. If you have an MBA from top 10, of course, you're good. But, the MBA alone doesn't bring you that salary. You've got to have some other potentials.

true true. salary data is just one of the metrics.
你是说不算奖金misleading还是算奖金misleading?因为这个是算奖金的——“PayScale tallied the median cash compensation—including base pay and bonuses”

my understanding here is that this kind of numbers only includes sign on bonus (which is only a one time thing), not the year end bonus...
就像你去看wharton等金融学校的数据,它会告诉你哪怕做banking的薪水也只有14-15万,但实际上远远不止这些。。。原因就是他这14-15万其实只是10万base + 4-5万sign on
