Why were you there? Going for a MS seems like a poor way to fulfill the desires of learning more about algorithms or being able to code more, for me I'd only consider it if it was a stepping stone to a better place in the corporate ladder or a stepping stone that's part of being paid to work on intensely interesting PhD material for a few years.
- steven777400 11y agoNot OP but I did my MS so I could teach at the college level. Along the way, I did learn a lot that continues to benefit me now, 10 years later. I'd recommend an MS to anyone in the field who wants to learn more about the underpinnings of computer hardware or software (I did my MS with a Programming Languages emphasis) but who isn't necessarily sufficently self-motivated to just do the reading/open courseware without a supportive community of peers.
