Idk about the European job market, but in general the CS Masters is pretty useless. That time is far better spent working in industry, in pretty much every dimension.
The only time it's worth getting higher degrees in CS is if you intend to go into academia, or a certain subset of research-heavy roles (research in AI, quantum computing, etc.) But for those, usually a PhD is what they are looking for, Masters wouldn't cut it.
- f1shy 4y agoIn some places in Europe the title is very important. I know companies, where if you do not have some degree you just do not qualify for certain positions. You can get an exception, if your boss is good, but you cannot bet on that.
