The private equity career market is highly competitive, with MBA's flooding the industry. In 2006, 13% of Harvard Business School MBA graduates went to work for private equity firms, making it the class's most popular choice. Similarly, one tenth of Stanford MBA graduates entered the private equity industry that year. As the buyout boom has restarted in the last couple years, it is getting more and more difficult to find a job at a private equity firm, even with a MBA from a prestigious school.

There's the obvious financial incentive, the average salary after graduation for MBAs in private equity is $111,296 and an expected $280,441 after working five years. But also there is the lure of working with other talented business people and playing a big part in shaping a company that other industries just don't offer. Despite 2008's slowdown in the industry, private equity continues to be one of the most desirable industries for MBA graduates. With high financial incentives and impressive performance from private equity firms, a private equity career will continue to be a top destination for young professionals.
