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 was in California, and still am, but now I’m fully remote. I can work anywhere in the US and my pay wouldn’t change.
I had a few internships under my belt before my first job
Did you pursue higher education between your jobs? If so, what was the salary difference before with just BS and after getting MS if you don’t sharing?
Using nerdwallet cost of living converter, 130k in San Francisco is equivalent to 71k in Orlando (45% lower cost of living). It’s still not an apples-to-apples comparison, but I don’t think OP is as underpaid as a 130k CA salary seems to suggest, although I dont think this calculator is perfect either.
