I try deciding whether to obtain a Master of Computer … My degree was in financial economics. During the degree I took the computer and math classes related to CS, but not enough to complete the major. Since I graduated, I worked on the financial side Business, but I would move to a more technical role. My tentative plan is to get my Masters in CS … I have taken several courses prerequisite for this, but I think it's possible. But before going this route, I wonder if one of the leading companies in the business even consider hiring me if CS has not been what I studied degree. Does anyone know someone who has this transition? Thank you.

Yes, that's the good news. The bad news is that technology is not only a good field if you are a U.S. citizen. Tech is a great course if you live in India. Much of the work he has done in the United States there are now other countries such as India because is much less expensive to manufacture. My sister has a degree in electrical engineering from one of the best schools in the United States and has been unemployed for more than two years. I know several people who worked in high technology and are now unemployed. It would be much easier for you can get a job from IBM, Google and Microsoft, if you lived in India. It's just a fact. Go to whatever your passion. If the computer to obtain a master computer. (It will be easier to enter a master's program because students are not entering the computer so much.) I am sorry to be so depressing, but I tell all I know. I wish you all the best.
