Hi everyone, I’m currently finishing my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, and next year I plan to start a Master’s degree in Computer Engineering focused on Information Systems (with some Data Science and AI courses included). After that, I’m also considering a 2-year postgraduate/master specialization in Data Engineering. So realistically, I’d enter the industry in about 5–6 years. What worries me is the long-term future of the field. By the time I’m ready to work as a Data Engineer, do you think the role will still have strong demand, or will AI have automated a large part of it already? Thank you in advice. submitted by /u/AndyMiry

I know, and have hired, quite a few data engineers. I would discourage you from getting that masters as it likely will not provide and roi to you. A masters in data engineering likely won’t give you any material market advantage tbh.
Get a degree, sure. But focus on accumulating experience while you do it because that will give you more clarity about what to expect than your degree will.
Edit… I realize they’ll never see this bc it’s a proxy post.
