I call most of this is a bullshit. why.
Unless you are in education career, hardly anyone cares where you did your masters as long as you have one and experience. As an interviewer of a tech company i can confirm, masters is an added advantage but that is all there is to it. How you perform in your interview and your negotiation skills what matter the most.
If you plan to migrate from sri lanka, do the Masters degree in state university to reduce the trouble because most countries dont know these tuition kada and only doing exams from main university sort of a thing. its either , on campus , remote, part time, full time. Not i do tuition in esoft but do degrees in university of oxford,
Regardless of where you do the degree, unless atleast it is not in first 100 universities, its not worth it because when you see the sri lankan university ranking, nothing is within first 1000.
If you want to learn something really. You can get better studies from MOOCs. Top 100 universities and best lectuerers doing these lectures organizely and pretty much understandably. (Some of the sri lankan university lecturers also going extra mile to teach though )
Only thing which is valueable from masters is the thesis. Which improves your thinking pattern.
Sometimes it helps to massage your EGO in sri lanka. so that you can post everywhere from facebook to linkedin saying you are graduate from here.
Two simple facts,
1. Have you followed MSc at CSE, or at least from anyway. If not, simply you don't have facts to discuss, but I can feel the pain in you of not having one!
2. I feel real pity for the company that you are working for!
MSc is not about the showing off, it's about,
- Knowledge
- Exposure
- opportunities
- Expertise
Basically this extends the knowledge to the deeper & complex areas.
Anyone can work with a piece of technical knowledge, but if you know how it works internally & understands the core complex concepts, you can take most out of that
More importantly, this makes you more into the enterprise & business-oriented.
if you can understand, I'm discussing this related to the
current industry & you are nowhere!
Please don't mislead junior with what you are not exactly aware of.
We should work ahead to create a strong, talented, capable & qualified workforce for the field
after us.
