| Finance | Corporate finance, investment, FP&A, treasury |

Reading an employment report
- Response rate: what share of graduates reported?
- Timing: employed within three months of graduation, or at any point?
- Breakdown by region and by nationality.
- Base salary vs total compensation; currency and conversion date.
- Does it follow a recognised reporting standard?
