“Accepted to multiple CS Master's programs”
What Actually Happened
I got accepted to CMU Comp Bio, JHU Biomedical Eng and Imperial College London Computing (SWE). I'm torn between these options because I want to switch from bioengineering to CS, especially since I'm interested in AI-embedded software for precision medicine. I think a CS Master's will give me the flexibility to apply to both cs and biotech/medtech companies after grad. However, I've had discouragement about the current CS job market and UK wages, which makes me question my decision.
What I wish I knew
"I wish I had known more about the current job market and salary expectations in the UK before making this decision."
