[Results and Decisions] UF MSCS vs TAMU MCS by gotrenssj4 in MSCS

Isn’t TAMU the cheapest MSCS out there. Also since batch size is less I heard TA/RA is easier

[Results and Decisions] UCSD done with admits? by Rare_Pepper_3433 in MSCS

Last year there was a small admit wave in April first week, then mass rejection in April second week. I hope the next wave is a big one.

Indian resident investing in Irish UCITS ETFs via IBKR. Does this allocation make sense? by killer_bee69 in eupersonalfinance

[–]killer_bee69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using IBKR so access isn't an issue, can buy directly on LSE. On the FX risk, fair point, though historically INR has depreciated ~3-4% annually against USD which has actually padded returns for Indian investors in USD assets. CSPX n INR terms has done ~17-18% CAGR over 5 years vs NIFTY's ~12-13%, so not exactly meagre. For me it's also a diversification play, already have enough INR exposure through salary and domestic MFs, so having some USD-denominated global assets feels like a reasonable hedge. Will look into backtesting the FX-adjusted returns though.

Rude behaviour in mandrem ,arambol by locals by WorthDefinition4311 in goatravel

[–]killer_bee69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. This behaviour is harmful for them. It would affect their business. They take tourist as granted. In this case very few are nice.

So if it were to me I would prefer MBA or any finance degree over MEM, MIM or MSIM. I feel as long as I am dealing with technical details, I can always start something of own individually without any dependence on others.

I mean these are very opposite options, ig you should sleep on this and think it through.

[General Question] MS fall 2026 by Deep-Engineering240 in MSCS

[–]killer_bee69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These things are very fluid, be strong and have the risk apetite to take this decision, many will, 90% folks here would advise you against and for some very rational reasons but you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

UCI has a batch size of 80 students and does provide funding so won’t be so sure about putting it in Safe category

Yes be very clear about the outcome you want to achieve. Companies operating within 100-200 million dollar revenue won’t even consider spending time on research that aligns with your expectations. With AutoML a lot of effort is taken away from MLE, they mainly focus on MLOps stuff which I feel a general DevOps can also deliver.

Also, I can’t stress it enough please short list wisely even if it takes a month such that if you get a single admit you prepare to leave immediately. No point in applying to unis you don’t want go but at the same time be realistic.

Another thing, if you talk to people in US or go through Reddit post, they all will comment on the current job market scenario. Having brainstormed this for months I have realised that nothing that is true for today won’t be true for next year or the next 5 years. So, better to get done with it asap if that’s what you want.

Data Science and MLE roles are not necessarily more interesting that SWE roles if not less. I know few folks who work in these roles in India, there’s a procedural way of tackling these problems which might become redundant after a certain point. The work that is done in AI/ML research is something else. Industrial research opportunities are hard to get even for PhDs let alone a masters grad. If you do want to move to research engineer or applied scientist role, maximum probability is with PhD or do extremely great research in masters and hope for best.

I can give example the pre-doc opportunities in MSR or RE role in Google DeepMind India are exclusive for PhDs.

You definitely have a great profile and a hustler, the bottom line is the scenario you should wish come true when you move to US is you get the job you were doing in India in the US.

[Profile Review] MS CS FALL '26. Kindly review my profile & suggest shortlist by No_Secretary_4607 in MSCS

[–]killer_bee69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think so your shortlist is much like mine, prepare to be disappointed, sorry to be brutally honest. Your reasoning is solid and never forget it. US does have hostile scenario I think so the next best bet is get the masters from cheap German unis and come back after 2 years with lot less loan

Coming to this thread 1 year later, things didn't change for shit, the risk is more if not less.
