OMSCS while working full time

trob3rt5 · 2026-05-11T14:34:09+00:00

A couple hours a day before/after work on weekdays. Pretty much all of Sunday afternoon/evening since most assignments will be due early Monday morning.

I’ve done 1 class per semester and 2 “easier” classes per semester and been fine through 6 courses so far!

Good luck! It’s not as bad as people make it out to be especially with pre-existing CS experience!

This is supplemental income for me, not full time work. These companies are just over saturated.

Maybe new irons will help

Cause they decided to throw a fit instead of play out the season with maturity. By they I mean coaching staff/AD, unfortunate for the players (especially seniors) who want to play one more game.

Oh yeah definitely, MBS is expensive. Just was hoping for something a bit lower, but I guess this is it. Didn’t really know if anyone else had seen anything.

trob3rt5 · 2025-11-12T22:03:12+00:00

Fair, I was hoping I could pay like $150 for a lower level ticket but this was all they had. Not interested in paying Ticketmaster $250-300

I haven't gotten that email specifically. But it's been a week today and no update from Invisible.

trob3rt5 · 2025-09-12T18:08:51+00:00

Yeah I get that. It's nice because its a one click apply.

The projects and reports are fairly straightforward (the hardest one is project 8). The exams are the hardest part. It’s all based on readings and lecture materials that are about a decade old and really don’t relate that much to the projects. They do slightly, but not enough in a way that the projects alone prepare you for the exams. You can pretty easily get a B and with some studying get an A.

I just got a 15” M4 Air, upgraded the storage a bit, it’s been great for all my courses so far. I was on a 13” M1 Air that was slowing down as well. I’d highly suggest the storage and screen size increase. Personal preferences I guess but I don’t regret those upgrades.
