Beware, though, because in other fields - particularly in STEM - a PHD may actually lower your job prospects. "You're overqualified" gets old really fast if no one offers jobs that align with your proficiency level.
- neodypsis 4y agoDo you see this happening in CS? I've seen positions where they don't care if you have formal training or not, then why would being a PhD holder hinder your chances?
- DocTomoe 4y agoChannelling my inner HR drone here, but I've heard that all at different times from them when looking for talent: Because why would you linger around in university if you can have a serious income ten years earlier? Obviously something must be "wrong" with you, something that would make you a complicated employee that just asks for creating trouble. Better hire a CS bachelor for a third of what you would ask (risking you'd run as soon as you get some offer more to your liking), not like we're doing any revolutionary bleeding-edge stuff anyways.
