Harry’s interest in BetterUp is nothing new. The firm helped Harry in his own mission for mental health support and coaching.

Many of the roles BetterUp is advertising offer a competitive salary, 13 days paid holiday, medical, dental and vision insurance, volunteer days and learning and development days.

Salaries for these types of roles tend to be between $130,000 and $250,000 per annum, placing BetterUp among some of the best-paying MBA employers, including the top consulting firms.

BetterUp has earned itself an excellent rating for employee satisfaction on Glassdoor and 85% of employees would recommend the company to a friend. Employees share how diverse, flexible and inclusive the firm is, and its mission is understood by employees at all levels.

BetterUp’s co-founder Eduardo Medina is an MBA of sorts too. After meeting fellow co-founder and CEO Alexi Robichaux at the University of Southern California while studying a bachelor’s in business, he went on to pursue an MBA from Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley.

Eduardo hasn’t actually completed his MBA yet—he left Haas to launch BetterUp in 2013. Now, he’s in the company of (future) kings.
