Work Experience vs Masters in terms of Employability

[silver spoke]

Yes experience usually better than a masters

[silver spoke]

Uh hmmm

I got into my MS without an research experience

Because it’s not a research masters lol

And I didn’t have any extracurriculars really, just a BS in CS and a year of work experience

I guess a year and a half lol

I mean just depends on what they ask for in terms of qualifications

Every school is different

I’m confident right now I could probably get into a masters at standford for CS

But the problem is I wanted to work , not just go back to school, so I had to find a masters that fit that requirement

Also it’s expensive as all hell

Nice campus tho

Very nice

Ah

Well my masters at Georgia tech is only 7k total

And online

Now I’m just advertising for the school lol

What does that mean

“Status”

Sorry but what is F-1

I’m fully American

So idk whatcha mean

Why can’t international students do online courses?

Oh ok

Well gotcha

Yeah you will have to look into it if you wanna go for a masters then

Idk much about your situation

The OMSCS? Isn’t that for people with non tech backgrounds hoping to break into the tech industry?

[silver spoke]

Hmmm I wouldn’t say so

It’s actually a pretty tough program so far

I would say there a good number of people that get in with non tech bachelors , but getting in the program is pretty easy

Getting through is not easy

[mossy ore]

Makes sense most engr schools r like that, I am considering applying sometime in the future. But I might just do a thesis masters idk yet.

Currently a new grad.

[silver spoke]

I’m doing it but I’m doing it while working

[mossy ore]

Damm do you have any free time left?

[silver spoke]

Yes lol

I am very good at time management

And it’s only 1 or 2 classes a semester

Also I’ve done much harder things in life than go to school and work at the same time lol
