Eh Id say its somewhat of a minor point - I think the only business that will recognize an MS in any real way (salary/title/etc) is perhaps a big company like Google. I believe some positions within Google require an advanced degree (if coming from the outside). I have to say though that I personally have never seen anyone get a thumbs up based solely on having an MS. From a financial perspective Id imagine an MS will rarely pay off if you already have a BS in CS.
- hugofirth 14y agoEspecially perhaps, as (detailed in my most recent comment below) the degree I would be coming out with ( MComp ) is instead of my Bsc rather than as well as it. Effectively the course content is the same as the Bsc course for the first 3 years and then you perform an additional year of study (deferring your original graduation). Some people have warned me off the MComp course on the basis that people who apply typically got 2:1 (60%+) at Bsc level and need the degree to improve their employment prospects. They went on to say that if you would be receiving a first (70%+) anyway then the MComp would do nothing to enhance your employability, and might even harm it. I am attempted to validate/invalidate that claim. I Think perhaps I apply for a job and look to do an MSc in future once I have a clearer idea of a specific area of study that I would like to pursue. Thanks for all the comments!
