Job Prospects for an MA in IR

Hi all,

A bulk of the posts in the ‘So you want an MA in IR’ thread seem focused on admission prospects, but I was curious to hear the perspective of those who have completed MAs in IR, so I thought it best to start a fresh thread.

I would be interested to hear reflections on the job prospects of recent IR graduate students. I know a few friends who just finished school at SIPA, though few seem to have ended up firmly in an IR related field, and I am left wondering if this more a reflection of SIPA or an indication of the current job market?

If it is the latter, what would you think of a joint MBA/MA in IR to hedge bets?

Thanks!
