May I suggest that UCLAri’s analysis is too generalized? My experience is top programs do a much better job is placement. Anyone who is seriously thinking about IR programs should talk to the students and alums of these programs.

Here is something to chew on …
MPA/ID graduates from KSG who enter consulting have an annual median salary of $110K.[1] Fletcher graduates did fairly well too.[2]

Note that graduates who stay in US usually earn more than the noted averages (due to lower wages in many foreign countries).
