A 5 year MS is where you get both a BS and MS in 5 years. So basically you graduate a year late.

Thanks. Isn’t getting some real work exp before joining Masters a good thing? Would like to hear your opinion on this, please.

Don't ask me! I never got a Master's, and if I did get one, it wouldn't be in CS. In general I think work experience would inform your course selection or the decision to get an MS in the first place. That's pretty much the main way it would affect it.

(warning typing on bumppy airplane ride on tiny phone, where is my emacs again ?) Given how successful how successful they are and how right they were on so many other things it is hard to tell if they were incorrect or not. But while we are at it let's talk about unconscious bias. This is brought up a lot. If it does exist and is affecting people's decisions why do we always talk about it in thr manner you just have…

Yes, it's racist to make this about how white people are always blamed. It's not about that.

Is that what you have to fall back on?

Not anymore eh?

What do you mean?

Funny that I get downvoted for asking precisions... That's HN now!
