I graduated 2 years ago next month and will say that doing the OMSCS was the best professional decision I've made. There's one unusual thing about my case though: I have a lot of prestige on my resume (Ivy league school, BCG, Google), so I mostly just wanted a) the learning and b) to say I have an MS. I don't know how I would feel about the program if I were more concerned about prestige.

- milosdog2 8y agowhat do you do at BCG if you dont mind me asking?
- mrosett 8y agoI was a standard management consultant, hired right out of undergrad. Nothing technical - powerpoint and excel all day.
- mhb_eng 8y agoAnother 2017 OMSCS grad with a unique career path chiming in. I was a MechE by background, but had some pre-existing computer science education from dabbling with robotics. My primary goal was to broaden my skillset and achieve the M.S. designation. To be honest, the M.S. has been nearly useless (nobody asks/cares), but I'd do the program again in a heartbeat, as I'm now a VC that is at least somewhat conversant in many of the technologies we are encountering.
- mrosett 8y agoInteresting! I actually work for a non-profit now that does a lot of VC-ish work by making seed investments in early-stage companies.
