Hello,

As per your query I have mentioned below a brief idea about life of graduates from Harvard. Harvard’s Class of 2020 is graduating into an unprecedented job market — while many are sticking to similar career choices as previous classes, measurably higher numbers are graduating with uncertainty. Like previous graduating classes, most seniors plan to live on the coasts and many will hold jobs in the consulting, finance, and technology industries.

A majority of students — 61 percent — will enter the workforce in their first year after graduation. This is a slight drop from last year, when 64 percent of students took jobs after graduation. Fourteen percent will attend graduate or professional school and 7 percent will pursue fellowships. In the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak, an unusually high 18 percent of students are undecided, and fewer than 1 percent of seniors will travel after graduation.

From Coast to Coast

A clear majority of graduates will live on the East and West Coasts after graduation, in line with previous years.

• Roughly 25 percent of respondents will live in New York after graduation, commensurate with other graduating classes. Massachusetts and California also drew sizable numbers, with 19 percent and 15 percent, respectively.

• Eight percent of students plan to live outside of the United States after graduation. Of those, 72 percent will move to Europe.
• While more students are uncertain about their jobs than in recent years, this does not appear to have significantly changed how many students are undecided about where they will be living — 12 percent haven’t yet chosen their post-graduation home, roughly the same as last year.

On That 9-to-5 Grind

Three industries reigned supreme among Harvard seniors’ post-graduate plans. Of respondents planning to enter the workforce, a majority — 63 percent — indicated they would go into consulting, finance, or technology. Consulting and finance each drew 22 percent and 23 percent of students entering the workforce, respectively, while 18 percent indicated they would be entering technology sector jobs.

• Of those seniors entering the workforce, 7 percent will pursue careers in academia or research. Four percent plan to go into the health industry, 4 percent into public service or non-profits, and 3 percent into government or politics.
• While gender gaps in consulting have narrowed entirely among respondents — this year women narrowly outnumbered men entering the field — they persist in finance and technology. The technology industry represents the widest male-to-female gap among major industries, with 64 percent of respondents entering technology identifying as male. The gender gap in finance shrank slightly from last year, with 53 percent of respondents going into finance identifying as male.
• A large majority of respondents who indicated they plan to go into health — 71 percent — are female; as are 76 percent of those who plan to pursue careers in academia and research and 63 percent who plan to go into education.

Thanks with Regards.
