One of my friend has admits from California State University, Fullerton (MSCS) and San Jose State University (MSDA) and is confused which one to go for. San Jose State University (MSDA) Pro - Location and proximity to Bay Area jobs Con - Admit is for data analytics course which might restrict job search to Data Engineer, BIE, BA roles. California State University, Fullerton (MSCS) Pro -MSCS might have better opportunities compared to Data analytics Con -Location is not great as Bay Area. My friend is a new grad and doesn’t have bias towards CS or data analytics but mostly thinking about job opportunities.
San Jose is better ranked and more close to bay area for internships and proximity to silicon valley culture. Your friend can always take extra critical courses to bridge CS and DA gap.
