I did a 4+1 program and got my Master's in 1 year which helped on the cost front. It ended up allowing me to go for jobs which were only available to Master's and PhD graduates which got me the money break even paying for the the extra year in 2 years of work.
For me things worked out b/c I went to work for a Big Corp which paid Master's holders more. If you want to go work for most of the companies you see on HN, then it probably isn't worth it.
I can't help with value of a German degree in the US. I would imagine it would be similar to a US degree but I don't know.
- X4 14y agoI didn't hear about a 4+1 program, but I've heard that there is a combined Master's program where you work at a company full-time and study 2 days in the week. I don't know more about that though except that it also takes 2 years.
