Ask HN: Continue in Industry or Go Back to Academia I have a Software Engineering Bachelor's degree, I was lucky enough to get an internship position at a not-so-big-but-well-paying tech company (AI) and over time I have come to love what I do. 4 months later, they seem to like me and are giving me a fulltime offer. I initially wanted to go to grad school (MSc) but I am not sure if I should anymore, given the pandemic and what's happening in the world right now. Should I continue to build my skills at this company or go to grad school. Would not having a Masters/PhD hinder my career growth somewhere? Should I stay for the money? |
