Looking to get a masters centered around software engineering, anyone have any experience with CS masters where they were able to focus on that field? Would prefer online if possible!

MS in CS is still very hot in the market right now. Focus on the basics - don’t worry too much about hype like big data, data science, AI etc. get a grip on advanced data structures & algorithms and languages depending on front, back or full stack. Many online courses available but just like any other masters program, even an MS in CS in-person full time program is the best route to network with future FAANG engineers + startup founders. Companies also tend to have target schools for certain roles so keep that in mind.

Studied accounting and finance but worried about the future of this profession. Currently working in Forensic Consulting but want to leave.

Additionally, I’m sick of people looking down on me. My gf is getting a PhD in a social science and gets way more respect then me. I am 25 also. HELP

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement. On my CV I have a section listed as “Education” and under it I have “Business Studies” with the university name and the 3 years that I attended the course (2.5 to be exact). It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.
