Some graduates also delay offers because they are targeting specific roles like PE, VC, or strategy roles rather than accepting the first job available.

MBA fees at these schools are extremely high. Staying unemployed even for a few months after graduation can create serious financial pressure.

Could this be because consulting and tech hiring slowed down recently? A lot of MBA grads from places like The Wharton School typically go into those industries.

This is surprising honestly. When people think of MBA placements, schools like Harvard Business School or Stanford Graduate School of Business are usually considered the safest bets.
