Ask HN: Is there a advanced degree req to transition to managment?
I noticed that many people who transitioned from a regular dev role to a management position normally have some sort of advanced degree, even if its just a masters in CS. Is this something that they look for/ is a requirement in your experience? thanks
- offtop5 5y agoI've seen managers without even college degrees. It depends on so many factors, but I wouldn't get a masters for CS career growth. The opportunity costs + stress isn't worth it.
- yuppie_scum 5y agoIn a word, no. It seems like it’s more important to be in the right place at the right time (EG, your manager quits and you know enough about the project to take over)
