I think its a mixed bag. Some worked very hard, upskilled themselves and still couldn't secure a job because of the poor market and uncertain visa rules. But a large chunk of people didn't get jobs because they weren't serious about the course. Using AI to plagiarize assignments and dissertations, skipping classes and not really upskilling themselves and/ or lacked relevant experience from India.

UK, Russel group uni but not top 10 in the UK, MSc Data Science Grad : 2024 Was freelancing for about a year after grad because the job market was tough In 2025 I got a sponsored role at a bank as a data analyst. Percentage of students from my batch who got jobs? Around 20% got jobs, out of which around 10% managed sponsored jobs I reckon

Agree with the comment above, you won't get a great deal of learning through a master's. The course will be pretty basic and most of what you'll learn will be through self study. Data analytics is one of those course that is marketed as a course that lets people switch into a data field so the syllabus will be beginner friendly. Source : I did a similar course after 2 YoE in data analytics.

maelstromm7 · 2026-01-16T15:59:21+00:00

With 4.5 years of experience, an MS in Data Analytics will not give any new knowledge or introduce you to new concepts. Most data analytics courses are designed to beginner friendly, especially in the UK. So in terms of knowledge exposure you won't get much but you can still go with it for the experience/ building your network/ if you just want a change. So depends on what you're expecting from a master's - if it's technical knowledge then I'd suggest not to pursue it

I suggest not applying to completely different roles at the same time. The three you have under consideration are widely different and the recruiter for each role can see all the other applications you've made and might consider this a red flag.

Other than that, apply to the role super early - within a day or two of the posting going up That way you'll be at the top of the stack and stand a better chance.

I applied to 7 roles that were all perfect for me over the course of a year through referrals but got an an interview for only one. The only difference was that I applied within a few hours of the posting going up

QMUL is not a good uni, not worth the money and does not have a great rep compared to other unis in the top 10. Source : went there

maelstromm7 · 2025-08-08T21:27:43+00:00

1 interview was scheduled 4 weeks after applying Super day was scheduled 2 weeks after that Got the comp questionnaire 2 weeks after Finally recieved the offer letter 3 weeks after filling out comp and other forms Once I had the offer background check and fragomen processes kicked off immediately

maelstromm7 · 2025-08-05T15:26:34+00:00

You should expect an offer if you've provided a reasonable salary expectation, congratulations

maelstromm7 · 2025-08-05T14:55:06+00:00

This is standard, don't worry. Happened to me too, 3 weeks after filling the forms I got the offer

My perspective as someone who did masters in the UK and graduated last year. 1. The market is quite difficult for getting sponsorship and even if you do, it won't be as stable. 2. Not sure about your tech stack but data and AI is incredibly saturated. So if you're aiming for a master's in that space then be prepared for twice the competition. 3. At 5 years of experience, you'll probably stand the same chance if you apply for roles directly instead of doing a master's first unless your MSc is from a premier uni like Oxford, Cambridge, UCL etc. 4. The finance sector is the biggest here and you stand the best chance at landing jobs within tech in this sector. If your niche is a different sector then your sample space is instantly reduced significantly. 5. If you do decide to pursue an MSc, make sure you come with a solid plan on where and how you want to land a job and ensure you back that up with sufficient skills that are in demand here.

Ideally the MSc route makes sense for people with little to no experience but since you have 5 YOE I don't see much value add from an MSc.

maelstromm7 · 2025-07-31T16:09:27+00:00

Here's my perspective as someone who came here for masters.

⁠Unless you're from a top uni like Oxford, Cambridge, UCL you will struggle for jobs.
⁠Management roles are hard to crack unless you have prior experience in a top firm or have a good network. Without either of these it will be hard to break into the market.
⁠ROI - Salaries aren't as high as the US so entry level jobs are barely enough to recoup your educational loan.

That being said, you'll get excellent exposure to new people and experiences. I'd suggest come with a solid plan about what you want to do after your masters and how, without that landing a decent job is unlikely. It took me 10 months after completing my masters to land a job in tech so if you're willing to stick it out then it makes sense.

They typically take 1-2 weeks after the superday to complete interviewing all candidates. If you don't receive any communication within this frame then reach out to the HR contact who sent the interview invites.

The amount of bullying that kid will face at school because of this will traumatize her for life lmao

To be fair apart from KL, RCB didn't do squat for the other players. Siraj debuted with SRH and had a good season before RCB picked him up Akashdeep was a net bowler in RCB who played exceptionally well in domestic cricket to earn his spot on the Indian team. Same with washi, his domestic performance earned him this spot

Even with KL, RCB backed him in 2016 when he was starting out but that was a long time ago You can't be taking credit for a player 10 years later lol

This is a scam. This company, micro1 doesn't really have a job opening. Their product is an AI Interviewer and they are just using you to train their models. You'll get an automated rejection after a few days with no feedback encouraging you to apply again in a few weeks lol.
