Is it worth leaving behind 75LPA in India for an offer of $185k in Bay Area?
I am backend SWE (YOE - 14) and considering doing an online masters from gTech. Which one do you think will have better future in terms of learning, job opportunities, job security, will help growing in the technical ladder, higher TC etc..? Here is my thinking for the three options available: Computer science : as I already have 14+ yrs of exp, it won’t help much Cybersecurity : too much specialized and I will have limited set of future employers Analytics : this sounds interesting as I don’t have much experience with this and looks like data and AI will be the future and this might complement that. Comments/queries/suggestions welcome. Plz comment if you have done it already. I would like to chat.
Master's is usually for folks that are here on visas. Getting a masters in CS won't boost your career if you're looking to go up a level or get more money. No job is safe, ever. The way you get more money is by changing jobs and that mostly means Leetcoding. Get at least 2 offers and leverage them. I've had someone go from $130k to $330k doing that with 2 YoE
Doing OMSA. Would Recommend OMSCS with machine learning, that way you get the ML courses. Beware OMSCS is tougher than OMSA
TC?
330
You aren't going to get more jobs or calls back for a master's degree with 14 YOE. No one cares at that point
Is it not better to get a masters and possibly a phd if I can ? Of course without any stress though.
Nope, it's not worth it, a PhD is definitely not worth it. Master's for career change only - if you're already in software, it won't get you paid more
