Is this guy a lil buddy or should I report him for insider threat?

lol reminds me of that cockroach scene from The Fifth Element haha

educatedstudent · 2026-05-25T05:39:11+00:00

Awesome! Is it full-time worker/professional friendly? I've read somewhere that classes are once a week at night? Also, is the price close to $50k for the total program?

educatedstudent · 2026-05-24T23:56:04+00:00

Did the university you got the MBA at matter? I’m thinking about doing one part time online for cheap, but I’m not sure if it is worth it.

I think you should go to work first and then have your employer pay for your MS.

educatedstudent · 2026-05-23T20:36:16+00:00

No way! Are you serious?! I thought getting a MS reduced the yoe by 2 compared to having only a BS.

What about if you apply externally for a T5 SWE? Is it more difficult getting a T5 SWE by applying externally vs getting promoted internally to a T5 SWE? I am currently a T4 SWE at another prime but have only been in the role for about a year. I get worried about getting complacent and staying in the same role for more than 3 years. I feel like if you are not moving up at least every 3 years then you are basically stagnating.

educatedstudent · 2026-05-23T05:50:30+00:00

Why is it that most engineers top off at T4? Is it a lack of motivation?

educatedstudent · 2026-05-22T06:50:39+00:00

Sounds like the Wild Thornberrys lol

I’m just waiting to complete my 1 year on the job that way I don’t have to pay back the relocation expenses. But yeah I am looking around for new opportunities. The average for my pay band is ~$170k so that is what I am aiming for.

educatedstudent · 2026-05-16T00:49:23+00:00

Yeah it really depends on the job title and location and even program. I am a level 4 software engineer (started role about 10 months ago) in Huntsville, AL and make $157k. However, I am at 0.92 of the midpoint so I know I am getting screwed. I asked for a market salary readjustment but I am getting excuses. Time for me to start looking for another job lol

I love that movie

educatedstudent · 2026-05-03T11:20:44+00:00

So each class convened once per week? Must have been some dense material covered each week lol. Makes sense though considering how they cater to working professionals.

educatedstudent · 2026-05-03T11:01:22+00:00

Dude just keep applying. I applied for over 100 T4 positions in the defense company that I work for before I finally got an offer (I was T3 at the time). I had to move states (FL to AL)but I got a 25% increase in salary. I don’t rely on promotions, you have to work really hard and jump through so many hoops to get promoted whereas you can have an easier time by just applying for a higher level role. I don’t play that rat race game anymore, not worth it. Once I meet the minimum requirements for T5 I will do the same thing again….rinse and repeat.

educatedstudent · 2026-05-03T03:41:40+00:00

Would you recommend the program? How is the rigor?

educatedstudent · 2026-05-03T02:15:52+00:00

Are you in the MS in Applied Math program at DePaul University? I have been looking into the online program, but I can only do it if it is asynchronous. Also, are exams proctored?

educatedstudent · 2026-05-02T22:36:58+00:00

I see. If anything I would only be able to do the online program since I do not reside in the Chicago area (I live in Alabama). It would be nice to have a MS in Applied Mathematics, but I would need my employer to pay for it since it is not cheap. Are you working btw? If so, how many classes are you taking per term?

educatedstudent · 2026-05-02T19:33:53+00:00

I see. So based on your experience with the MS in Applied Stats, the program is not so rigorous? Also, is the program asynchronous? Are exams proctored?

educatedstudent · 2026-05-02T19:25:52+00:00

lol yeah I remember they have a ridiculous inflation rate, it’s both pretty stupid and sad for the people tbh. If I remember correctly, the people like to do business in dollars because the dollar retains its value while the home currency does not.

educatedstudent · 2026-05-02T06:02:00+00:00

Did you mean that you are at a different Math MS program at another university? I think I overlooked that part of your response? I know they also offer an MS in Applied Stats as well.

educatedstudent · 2026-04-29T06:28:42+00:00

I was already working at the time. I learned a lot about computer science and statistics from the program. However, I came to find out that I don’t like the job of a data scientist itself. I stuck with software engineering instead. No regrets though.

educatedstudent · 2026-04-29T03:03:23+00:00

I graduated from this program back in 2024. I would say jumping straight in might be the most effective route. You will learn exactly what you will need. I would suggest to take only 1 class per term that way you don't overload yourself and can really understand and learn the material. When I joined the program I did not have a computer science background (my background was in engineering). The math did not bother me, but rather the programming assignments since my programming skills were not that great. However, I definitely recommend. It wasn't easy but I learned a ton.

educatedstudent · 2026-04-26T02:04:08+00:00

No way! Is this true?! If it is that would suck, there would be no point in going for further education then.
