I came across this article from a website for mathematicians that was quite interesting to me, as it's rare to read about a professional with a mathematics PhD and an established career in academia who decided to do an online Master's in Computer Science. The main idea of the author's account is that the credential helped open some doors to move to a Computer Science department as a professor. She also talks about the pros and cons she saw about the program and how she made time for it by taking a sabbatical. For the author's specific case, earning the Master's in Computer opened a door for her specific career goals, even though she notes that there are specific drawbacks for a working professional related to opportunity cost.
