Currently enrolled in Georgia Tech’s OMSCS program and debating whether it’s worth continuing with it. It’s a lot of workload and I’m not really feeling like I’m getting much out of it since I already did my BS in CS at Georgia Tech. Also not really too hopeful for the future of SWE given all the AI stuff and layoffs happening in the industry.
I’m thinking of applying to KSU’s Masters in engineering management program because it seems like a good balance and I want to eventually get into management roles. I currently hold a fulltime job in SWE and my employer is paying the tuition for my Masters which is the main reason why I started OMSCS. Also many job apps give faster promotion or lesser requirements to those who have Masters (ex. 2 years work experience w/ Masters vs 4 years work experience w/o) so if I’m able to complete my Masters while working fulltime that would be great. My colleagues are also doing online 1-year programs in MBA or management degrees after finishing a technical degree in their undergrad.
But I’m not sure if it’s worth switching over. I just started OMSCS last semester and I only took 1 class (withdrew from the other one) so if I want to change I should do it sooner rather than later. I know I want to do an online program since I don’t have enough of a time commitment to do an in-person program. Are there other programs I should consider or should I stick to doing OMSCS?
