Peaceful Protest Hasn’t Worked and Has Been Met With Aggression.
I'm in the GATech MS in Analytics program, about 40% done with the program but have lately been thinking that the MS in CS is a better fit. The route I've taken in my MSA program has the exact same classes with what I would do in the MSCS (ML concentration) except for one class, which is one I want to take anyway. Given the better name recognition of a MSCS degree rather than a MSA and the better course selections for MSCS, I'm thinking of transferring over. On the other hand, when I do so, I can only transfer over 2 of my classes rather than the 4 I've already taken ... meaning I'd get set back on my degree path. There's no deadline I'm working towards or anything but the thought of starting a degree relatively from scratch again is pretty wearisome. I could also probably knock out the MSA degree in 1 year or so if I focused since there are a lot of easy/filler classes I could take. Should I just finish out my MSA and get the degree and be done with it, or should I transfer to the MSCS degree and take the setback? FWIW, I'm in data science (more on the analytics side) and I would like to move to more of a DS/ML engineer position, maybe a data product manager down the road. #tech #datascience #machinelearning #machinelearningengineer #georgiatech #software
Yeah degrees... FANG brand name is probably better than any degree imo. Im in omscs. They have a lot of ML stuff if thats what you like but most other stuff isnt that related to modern swe. If you are doing in person you get more options in classes but overall the only skills you need to get a job is dsa and system design
I’ve heard the MS in Analytics is a piece of cake. If you want something challenging, switch!
No one cares which tech field your Master's is in; the degree is a checklist item.
You’ve already been through all the classes that differ. From here on out you should be able to choose CS classes. Or are there specific CS classes you want to take that don’t apply?
No one cares about the name of the degree, literally. Interview performance has nothing to do with degree.
true. I guess I should transfer to MS in CS then because I would actually learn more on that path rather than just taking filler classes to finish my degree in MSA.
Sure. Do whatever you feel is best but the name of the degree has nil impact.
