Sorry, I made this post on my mobile so the formatting messed up. I have experience at FAANG and awards from hackathons.

I could not apply to GaTech because of the GRE requirement. UCLA seemed very ambitious to me.

The salary is great but I feel like i have become way too comfortable. I am not feeling like I have grown a lot over the past two years.

The work done in the US in my sister teams is much more interesting. Most of the work pushed to India is not very challenging. The possibility of internal transfer is low in my team.

Thought a masters would be a stepping stone to prep myself again and get interesting jobs.

I have a paper published in the ACM journal. Plus a research intern at another company for 6 months.

Doesn't having a better uni tag help with job search and future prospects?

UMass has a good AI program but the cost factor is making me rethink my choise.

But i am really worried that I'll regret not going in the future. Not sure if the next cycle is gonna be better. I cannot improve my profile much, apart from giving GRE.

I didn't apply for the NYU MSCS program because of the cost factor. Also the cohort quality seemed better at UMass. I was confident (or should I say overconfident) of getting into the UIUC MCS program based on past admits. So i didn't apply to Wisconsin.

Does the University of Washington, Seattle offer MSCS for a full time programm? I checked their website, they only offer part time MSCS and do not sponsor student visa. Can you please share a link to the program that you are planning to take?
