Just curious about MEM degree. Is it worth pursuing? What type of job opportunities does MEM offer? What is the pay gap between software devs and the role you get after MEM?

Kinda sounds like a scam.
Is a course offered by duke, cornell and some prestigious universities. So won't be a scam
Prestigious universities offer the most convincing scams. Don't kid yourself. I have worked in this industry twenty years and have yet to see someone get hired or promoted on account of having a degree for Engineering Management. Be careful!
All programs(except MS) are cash cow programs for Universities. MIS, MEM and what not.
MEM won’t help you find a job or get hired. It’s useful for the knowledge, IMO if you already are a manager and are looking to learn more in addition to your experience. I wouldn’t get it if you aren’t already a manager. Source: I’m an EM and i also have an MEM
For aerospace & manufacturing: If you are looking to transition from business role/non-represented role to higher paying AND union-represented jobs, I believe an MEM is useful. I researched this for a few weeks recently. Feedback I received from a couple Directors was that you *must* graduate from an ABET certified program to get into the engineering skill codes. I spent immense time trying to find any graduate-level ABET-certified programs where my employer would help cover costs. Ended up finding none in the country. Requested exception be made and allow my remote/virtual attendance at an Air Force postgraduate school, and a couple others. No dice. Agree with Google <yo/> above. MS or MBA would be just as useful to get generic management roles. A lot of universities also have certificates or full programs in IT management, which is more specific than general MEM, which could focus on mechanical or industrial engineering, or areas you may not have interest in.
Thanks for the details WSJ
Agree with Boeing and Google here. I was considering MEM for my graduate studies but I was advised to go for something technical. An MS or MBA is much better. If your goal is to get into management then I would advise you to pursue an MBA since exit opportunities are much better than MEM. If you goal is to stay in tech industry as a TPM, then an MS is more helpful. Whatever you do, 2-3 years of experience combined with Master's is always good. I have seen folks pursue MEM with 0 years of experience and that is a disaster
No. Not worth it. Get MS or MBA from M7.
