Just finished my undergraduate degree in cs from UC Berkeley. And I am from Srilanka. And all my co-workers constantly keep suggesting me to do my masters. My manager once mentioned it too. Every co-worker of mine has a masters degree. I am the only undergraduate. Is it because I am on f1 ? I know it's pretty rare for an undergraduate international student. Is it too soon to leave VMware ? I am not liking the evil eyes I am getting here. Why the hell would I pursue an MS after spending all this money on my BS ?

    Masters is not needed if you can get a good job after Bachelors. It’s just the mentality of Asian people to study more!

    Don't waste your time if you graduated from Cal.

    If you want guaranteed GC get married to a citizen. Try to find someone you know that's less attractive.

  • It’s up to you to figure out if there is ROI I’m getting a masters in your field or one you want to move into. In some fields you can initially command more salary but that seems to decrease as you reach those levels without it and gain real world experience instead. Maybe it helps you level up faster, maybe not.
