MSCS in UW, Seattle experiences?

Has anyone done the programme? What's your experience like? Is there a tangible benefit from it (better TC/faster promotion)? I've asked a mentor who went through the program 8+ years ago, and said it's definitely worth it, albeit him working full-time and raising small kids at that time. Although he did mention that some lecturers/professors are fine going through the material slower, or doing easier projects, so it seems like it wasnt rigorous as he wanted it. I'm considering doing it for the structured learning and networking. Making connections as an adult is hard, and I do want to expand my connection outside of work friends, being another dirty transplant.

Also thinking about the same program and have two small kiddos. Dread the thought but I can’t get it out of my head.
