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?
The masters is unlikely to help you, OP. It’s just coursework and will likely have little practical upside. If you want education that is guaranteed to help you professionally, join a lab and work towards a PhD. Notice I did not say complete a PhD. :)
Unfortunately most programs would require OP to quit job?
Not require but doing both would be very difficult
Yep, for many the PhD alone is enough.
