Hi Andrey, great article! Just wanted to know what your motivation was for doing an online MSCS program, since a lot of students want to do a master's degree specifically to get entry into the country with a student visa.

Hi Prafful, thanks for reading! I think the primary benefits of the Master's for me are:

-   It provides structure and a more or less clear roadmap compared to learning on my own.
-   Deadlines, classmates, the atmosphere in the class help me fight my laziness and desire to watch another Netflix show instead :)
