An MBA from Harvard Business School may have lost a bit of its shine—about $5,000 worth.
The median salary for the school’s 2013 graduates dropped by that amount from the median for last year’s class, according to preliminary career data published by the school. By graduation in May, 15 percent of the class had not received a job offer, compared with 11 percent in 2012, says Christine Van Dae, manager of market intelligence at the school.
