I don’t have MS, but I was pursuing it and I dropped out of it. Don’t interviews and looking at job postings realized no one is looking for MS in cyber particularly. Certs on the other hand they are looking for/or calling out specifically.

Depends on the specific program and what you’re trying to get out of it. It’s very helpful for adjunct roles or research careers. Not super impactful on compensation.

I went to a T14 law school, got great grades and glowing recommendations, and wrote (what I thought was) a great writing sample. But I got rejected from all 70 federal clerkships I applied to. The only thing I can think of is: I took a non traditional route after law school and did a 2 year public interest fellowship in a niche field of administrative law. The rejection gave me a lot of self hatred. I still really want to clerk. Any advice? What is wrong with me? I feel like a failure.

I’m torn because I do love being an IC but I’m interested in leadership also. What do I do?
