[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Think tank jobs for IR grads with MAs pay in the low/mid 40s. And we could fill every job a few hundred times over. I know people complain a lot about these salaries; however, the plus side is lots of leave time, opportunities for schmoozing, contacts and networking. I hate to say it, but that (networking) is the key to getting a job in this field, and to progressing to the next job. The big schools have very well integrated networks in most big DC institutions and I find students seem to use these contacts to their advantage. Fwiw I have been watching over [b]2 decades plus [/b]as my classmates from a top tier IR school have progressed in their careers; they all seem to find well-paying, interesting positions and build meaningful and impressive careers. It's not obvious when you're just starting out, but somehow it seems to happen.[/quote] key phrase [/quote]
