MA-->PhD vs BA-->PhD job market

[dhg]

Hello everyone, 

I was wondering if the more experienced posters could comment on whether the two paths are treated differently in any noticeable way on the job market?

When I say BA-->PhD I don't mean necessarily direct. I'm also including people who may have worked before entering their doctoral programs but did not do an MA.

No, what matters is where you got your PhD, publishing record, and a great number of other things that have nothing to do with the MA.

Almost every program I can think of requires you to complete coursework in their program, even with a pre-existing MA.

No difference at all.  It's how  you make the most of the PhD program that matters.
