What was your undergrad in and what kind of challenges did you experience while pursuing your MS? How many years of CS experience did you have before you went for your MS? I've been thinking of this as a possible and very probable path (I'm an international student here in the US, so I might have to get a masters for my visa to continue). Thanks!
- canterburry 9y agoI only had about 3 years of work experience when I decided to take up my MS, something that also helped my VISA application. There are different MS degrees out there and I chose one with lots of applied subjects rather than theoretical/academic (i.e. design patterns, project management, security, data modeling, analytics, OS fundamentals etc.) My undergrad was in Economics and Fine Arts (sculpture/drawing) and my plan was to later apply to Architecture School but my programming hobby just seemed like a more wise pursuit.
- kreeWall 9y agoVery cool! I will look into those MS degree options - I didn't know that there were so many options. Thanks for sharing your experience, I really appreciate it!
