Masters in AI worth it? I was not a CS major, but was an engineer in college and finished a bootcamp a couple of years ago /u/ShortTheDegenerates CSCQ protests reddit

Discussion

I know this has been posted before, I was looking through the posts and most of them recommended not getting the degree. I was a biomedical engineer in college, but didn’t go into the field, currently working as a QA manager at a tech company. I finished a bootcamp, but have had an incredibly hard time finding a job in the current market. I want to try to get a job in the AI field as I think the applications and growth are expanding and I’m just really interested in the topic generally. I would have to take pre-requisites and the cost would not be a major financial burden. I’m curious if I grind and network during an online program, while I work, if the degree will be worth it. My objective would obviously be to get a new position after finishing the degree. I know some people have had bad experiences, but they kind of feel like doctors telling people not to become doctors due to being jaded. From what it sounds like, the people who are really sought after, are people with PHDs in the field rather than masters graduates. All that said, I do recognize that this is primarily an investment in my future and education. Any advice would be helpful, thanks in advance!

What can I do to deal with this? Should I mail him again? Advice needed. /u/inferno0904 CSCQ protests reddit

An interviewer has been keeping me uninformed for the last two months. This is an update to a previous post.

I mailed him and he enthusiastically thanked me for reaching out, asked when I should be able to start it, and said that I have been selected, and he would send a formal letter as well.

I consulted my college (through which I got the opportunity) and gave the date as any time after 23 dec since my end-sems would be done by then. No reply. I thought it might be that he would have his Christmas and New Year holidays and to wait till then (he works in NY).

It’s already 7th and my holidays are going fast, and I have no clue what to do. Any advice would be appreciated.

Experienced devs, how did you improve your problem solving ability? /u/NotHim40 CSCQ protests reddit

Experienced devs, how did you improve your problem solving ability? /u/NotHim40 CSCQ protests reddit

Any tips? To give an example, let’s say I have to improve performance for our heaviest page. The difficult part isn’t really the “doing” part since most can do it.

It’s the part where you have to figure out an action plan, of exactly what to do, or how to go about figuring out what to do. Doing an analysis of how it can be improved without knowing what you don’t know if that makes sense?

I want to slowly make sure I’m at least going in the right direction as I go deeper in my role/career. How did you improve it so that when you get a new problem, regardless of what it is, you can get about figuring out what to do and then how to do it?

Any sources I can check out?

Prospective employer taking the proverbial? /u/DevopsCandidate1337 CSCQ protests reddit

Prospective employer taking the proverbial? /u/DevopsCandidate1337 CSCQ protests reddit

Me: 10 YOE. Been consulting independently for last year, previously been a lead in large companies (not consultancy).

Applied for Senior Engineer with a consultancy company requesting 95k. Completed stages to date:

  1. Internal recruiter / Talent Acquisition (30 minutes)
  2. Cultural fit (30 minutes with 2 people)
  3. Consultancy (1 hour with 1 person)
  4. Technical (1 1/2 hours with 1 person)

Receive call from Internal recruiter after (4.) advising me that they think I am strong technically but weak on consultancy and would I like to be considered for a grade down – 70-75k. If so then final stage would be founders interview (company is <200 people) for what is now essentially a mid position.

So, they have already had 3 1/2 hours with me with 5 different people at which point they ask me to accept a prospective 15-20% salary reduction before there is still another stage. Already confirmed that if successful it would then be at least a year before any opportunity for promotion.

Thoughts?

Want to change my job title, but boss has me on LinkedIn /u/freew1ll_ CSCQ protests reddit

I do the work of a full-stack developer, but my job title is IT-something or other. As far as I can tell it’s just so that they can pay less. Would like to change my job title on LinkedIn to Full-Stack Developer, but my boss has me on LinkedIn (very small company) and I don’t want to make him flighty. Is there anything I can do?

Continue with OMSCS or apply for Engineering Management KSU (online)? /u/coolfission CSCQ protests reddit

Continue with OMSCS or apply for Engineering Management KSU (online)? /u/coolfission CSCQ protests reddit

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?

Less than full time work for a Senior Front-end dev? /u/HeyUpHere CSCQ protests reddit

Less than full time work for a Senior Front-end dev? /u/HeyUpHere CSCQ protests reddit

Basically title. I have 12+ YoE in front end, React for the last 8ish. I was laid off over a year ago, which at the time was actually a relief, I was super burned out and have young kids. I made quite good money for the last 5+ years and my wife is a high earner so we are in decent shape financially. So I took some time off. I worked on a few different side projects/startups that are in purgatory right now, really not much to show for the work.

I’ve started to apply for roles again, not getting interviews but at the same time I’m just really dreading going back to the 9-5 grind. Just going through interviews feels pretty overwhelming tbh. Imposter syndrome, busy family life, etc.

So anyway, I’m wondering if anyone has ideas for less than full time roles that would allow me to spend as much time with my kids as I am now? 20-30 hours would be ideal. It would be great if I could get an hourly rate similar to what I was making before but I could handle a pay cut to get the flexibility.
