I studied and worked in parallel and really enjoyed the parallel work and grow my career in CS. Still I would say, if you have the possibility/luxury to work less and finish your studies faster with more focus, I would go this route as in my opinion you will gain more time in the long run to focus on your next steps after studies. If you are not overwhelmed by the 20-30 hour/week work/studies schedule and can keep up, then Inwould continue this way. Either scenario should involve side projects.
