MBA Salary by City

MBA-level professional pay by metro area. Major hubs report higher nominal pay, partly offset by cost of living.

Direct answer

Metro-level MBA pay tracks the local industry mix — finance in New York, tech in San Francisco and Seattle, consulting across major hubs — and cost of living. Compare nominal pay alongside living costs rather than chasing the highest headline number.
