Other top choices are Automobile Dacia, OMV Petrom and Banca Transilvania, three of the most powerful Romanian companies.
“We’ve noticed engineering and manufacturing jobs are in highest demand in Romania. In comparison, people in the West are looking for jobs in banks and management or strategic consultancy,” the officials who conducted the survey say.
Universum has been conducting this survey (Universum Student Research) on the developed markets in Western Europe for many years and entered Romania in 2016. This is the first survey for the Romanian market and canvassed almost 10,500 students from 46 universities and 136 majors. Romanian students expect an average salary of EUR587, while the average wage in Romania is EUR440.
Preferences vary with major and gender. Female students prefer L’Oréal, while male students BMW and Volkswagen. The top choice for all students regardless of gender are Apple and Google. The two companies are among the top ten employers regardless of the major of the students. Those who study business or commerce rated them as their top two choices while the future engineers said BMW, Continental and Volkswagen were their top three choices.
