Job-market reality check
Harder, so be realistic
- Be honest with yourself: an MBA on its own rarely gets an international graduate a visa-sponsored job in Ireland. General management roles are not usually on the Critical Skills Occupations List.
- Most such roles need a General Employment Permit (at least €36,605 a year) or a Critical Skills permit for an eligible non-list role at €68,911: a high bar for a first job in Ireland.
- MBAs work best with real prior work experience and a specialisation that points at a shortage area (finance, supply chain, cloud). Without experience, a tech or data master’s is usually the stronger route to a permit.
