Another consession of my point. The masters degree isn't the thing. The masters degree is only the opportunity to get better at problems like implement shunting yard in 7 minutes using opstack and valstack on a whiteboard, and do it so I can photograph it and type it into the editor and have it compile and work without errors.

keep studying.

The same advice as before earning my masters in computer science and machine learning from Georgia Tech. My conclusion stands, the OMSCS degree is largely a waste of the time you put into it because all you're getting is what you pay for, seven thousand dollars worth of value that you'll get back later, but only if you try really hard and be able to solve all problems on your CTCI book.

My conclusion is reverberated and stands. Gatech is just an opportunity to learn, what the industry makes of that is whatever they can decide based on the interview, which is for what I can tell exactly the same bullshit I had to deal with before I started the masters.

It's not a scam, but it's like the suited salesman on a showroom floor or the beautiful photographs on a mcdonalds menu: The works of art you expect is not what you get. You get 7 thousand dollars of value. You get back a little more than what you pay for. The wasted time I put into this makes it almost not worth it.
