I can not find a employment report on both official websites; I can not find advices from alumni on Reddit or GradCafe; I can not find anything anywhere.

How do I find a clue to help me decide?

Thx!

I can only speak to NYU MS in Global Affairs... one of my best friends did it. She has spent the last 10 years paying off her debt (including living with her parents the last 2). It really didn't enhance her job prospects much whatsoever. The academics are great, but it is simply a niche program that. It isn't even competitive with comparable peers (MSFS, SAIS, Fletcher, and etc.) from a brand perspective. Oh and as for said friend, this degree did not really get her a job. She actually had to pivot to private sector.
