Hey all, I graduated from university last year ago and have been working in a company in Florida as a machine learning engineer. I make 76k a year. This company offers tuition reimbursement for masters degree. Typically, how much of a pay increase do you get after getting your masters?
Follow up question: would getting a masters from an online university (I would still be working full time) be any less prestigious than going in person?
Please, if you’re comfortable, would anyone mind also sharing their personal salary numbers straight out of college and how it’s progressed throughout their career?
I also work in Florida and I’ll let you decide if a masters degree was worth it.
Data Analyst $45k to 58k (2015-2017) Masters Degree (2017-2018) while working Data Scientist 80k-85k (2018-2020) Lead Data Scientist (2020-2023)($120k to $220k)
Was the salary boost from data analyst to data scientist within the same company or did you switch companies?
Is the 120-220k range assuming a 100k bonus and stock options?
