    Wow, thanks! That does look really good. I don't like "Extension", but otherwise it seems solid. The price tag sounds like they consider it a valuable commodity.

    I don't think that's true. I have seen job descriptions for Director or VP that require a master's degree in CS.

    I hadn't, no. It looks like a great way to get a quick update on undergraduate CS. It doesn't meet my requirement of having a real master's degree from an accredited university wit…

    Fair enough. I had an older model of the GRE in mind, when there were only 1 or 2 in-person test sessions per year, so taking the GRE in spring 2022 would mean I couldn't start cla…

    NACE showed a 46.9% salary premium for a CS master's over a bachelor's. Also, after a career in startups, I am looking for work in bigger, more conservative organisations. So those…

    Thanks! UT is one of the schools I applied to, so this is kind of a disappointment. Do you notice it getting better, worse, or staying about the same?

    I added a note about pay, but I'll say it here too: NACE did a survey in 2021 that showed a 46.9% starting salary differential for holders of a master's in CS over those with a bac…

    Good luck! I saw a few master's programs that had a specialisation or focus on information security, but that might not be hardcore enough for you.

    So, one of my criteria is a credentialed master's degree at the university, available 100% remote. I don't see a master's degree in CS or software engineering on their site. Also, …

    Thanks! I was looking for a program at Oxford. USN&WR has it at #11 worldwide for CS. The SE program at Oxford doesn't seem to be available for 100% remote study, though. Am I miss…
