@bryan , i needed to know about the Salary increase or better job opportunities one can have after completing this masters..can we realistically get a six figure salary?
@bryan_truong6 күн бұрын
Like I said, I didn't get an instant salary increase, since I already was a SWE. But yes, it is realistic to get a six figure salary as a SWE after completing the masters (though it is also realistic/possible to get a six figure salary as a SWE without a masters)

if your level is <=61 and you are just new and just fresh out of college, its a lower pressure environment for you to learn and at the same time, having time to party. (the right team also important). >= 62 I won't recommend. The mid / senior level is just TOO low on TC. way too low.

Microsoft don't pay their employees well. I wonder why not more left to join other companies. Perks are nice (not that MS have much), but what really counts is compensation, 401K match, HSA employer contribution. .NET will not help you much in your career, unless you are looking for an IT position in a non-tech company.

Questions. At any point did you feel like a peasant while riding the train? Was the train ever full outside metropolitan Miami and Orlando? From this video it looks like ticket cost will barely cover the cost of the electricity and operational overhead. Or maybe the $12 meals will generate Billions taken from the taxpayers. Other thamnopening day, has a train ever sold out? Can you not afford a car, even a used Honda?
@bryan_truong14 күн бұрын
I actually felt like the train was very luxurious! I only rode it from Orlando to Fort Lauderdale, so I can't speak to the crowdedness, but I think it started to fill up more once we got to Boca and kept heading south.

Some of these salaries are bonkers. I check Levels every once in a while, it gets more depressing every year. At 9YOE (looking at staff in the next 2-3 years), my salary has actually gone down, with inflation included, over the last 5 years. That's just the norm in my region, if anyone's thinking of moving to "silicon slopes" for work, I really don't recommend it.

I am curious OMSCS's coursework can be helpful for this case.

Hm. I'm honestly not too sure. Maybe the computing systems specialization may be useful? But I do fear that the coursework will be overkill on the programming side of things and is more of a software engineering focus. I think they do cover high performance computing architecture well in the coursework, but I don't think it would be as comprehensive for hardware engineering as it is for software engineering.
