I’m giving you a 1st person perspective lol what more you want lolYa'll are telling me **** I already know, thought ya'll had a 1st person perspective.
Hey if ur a swe, do you think a masters in cs would be good for someone trying to switch careers? I’ve got an IT bachelors. I’ve taken a few cs classes and I’d do the pre reqs before joining the masters. Pre reqs are similar to what a minor would be. Also, how much weight would the school name hold? (Non ivy)I’m giving you a 1st person perspective lol what more you want lol
I’m not a swe anymore. Moved to cyber threat intel/investigations about 10 years ago. In tech, I feel like swe are like mercenaries lol. They get a feature request out of a queue, knock it out, then on to the next feature request lol.Hey if ur a swe, do you think a masters in cs would be good for someone trying to switch careers?

Or self study?

Ay for sure man. Thanks.I’m not a swe anymore. Moved to cyber threat intel/investigations about 10 years ago. In tech, I feel like swe are like mercenaries lol. They get a feature request out of a queue, knock it out, then on to the next feature request lol.
Honestly it Depends on your experience. Unless you’re a new grad, maybe the school name would help. These tech companies care about real skill…..time on the keyboard. Hell, no one on my team has certs. Most have just a bachelors but a solid background in what ever their expertise is in.
A guy on my old team went from being a program manager to a swe. He picked up the skill while PMing a project, liked it so much, found a swe in another group lol. So ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’ll tell anyone shoot your shot.
Worrd. Thanks, am leaning towards the ms but still got some thinking to do. Btw If you have a bachelors, then Georgia Tech has an online masters program that’s part time and aimed for full time workers. UIUC, Texas at Austin, and ASU all have online masters programs too. Oregon State also has a post- bachelors program for getting a Bachelers in CS where you take 60 quarter credits (equal to 40 semester credits) that can also be done part time.If money isn't an issue and academic environments stimulate you and you want to pursue another degree then 100% get a degree in CS. A high education degree in CS isn't necessary but it still holds a lot of value.
Strictly in terms of resume value, imo there are diminishing returns going up from a bachelors to masters. Same with the name of the institution the further along into your professional life you are across all the industries you worked.
I did the self study route after leaving a career I loved that didn't pay, and got my first job through pure serendipity. At this point I'd still definitely jump at the opportunity to study CS in a formal degree program if the opportunity presented itself, but I always kind of loved the classroom even if I wasn't a particularly dedicated college student, and general software engineering still has that novelty to it that makes me excited about learning.
Congrats my friend. Welcome to the club
CCNA HAS BEEN ACHIEVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

agree with many points here, and to add on, masters and up is if you want to specialize in something but that is something you may wish to decide on after spending some time in industry or really getting to know what folks do on the daily.If money isn't an issue and academic environments stimulate you and you want to pursue another degree then 100% get a degree in CS. A high education degree in CS isn't necessary but it still holds a lot of value.

The uncertainty given some of the tech layoffs and hiring freezes are a bit daunting right now but I believe tech will be fine in the long run.
I'm sure it's annoying but I'm chasing the money and do eventually see myself moving away from doing the grunt work.Had such a **** experience in management I want nothing to do with it, but seems it keeps looking for me. I'll still get my masters because i'm sure at some point I won't want to be too technical in the weeds anymore.
