BYU MBA MARCH 2025 PLACEMENT
Full Time – 9 points behind Last Year, slipped a bit this month – very tough hiring environment for MBAs across the country.
Internship: Flat to last year, closed the gap.
International Placement:
Full Time: Progressing, but still lagging to benchmarks – tough hiring environment!
Internships: Ahead of both benchmarks through March
FJob Offers:
Full Time: Job offers trending to last year, placement hopefully just a timing issue.
INTERNSHIP: Job offers up vs. last year (% of students with offers), and placement is flat. The offers/students are down slightly, reflecting a tough hiring environment.
SUMMARY:
For Full Times, this is the toughest hiring environment in the last 14 years as measured by placement. The Trump Tariffs are causing companies to pause, and are struggling to understand how this will impact their businesses, and for us, placement. Hence, this year it demands more work on part of the MBAs. Please practice your skills - mock interview with Perry, Shawna, and Rick. As we see and find opportunities, we will be sending them out.
For Internships, we are right on track to last year. We do not see many multiple offers per MBA, another indicator of market uncertainty and challenge.
I leave you with a great scripture in times of adversity and struggle:
“Search diligently, pray always, and be believing, and all things shall work together for your good, if ye walk uprightly, and remember the covenant ye have covenanted one with another.” (DC 90:24)
