Hello everybody,
Can anyone give some input about the value of MS degree in CS from NYU comparing to other schools in NY metro area?

Hello everybody,
I had a telephone interview with Epic Systems a few days ago. Now I am about to take an assessment test. Did anybody go through this process with this company? Any advice?

Thanks

Thank you Lakshmi.

Hi all!
Does anybody have any idea what is the value of NYU's certificates earned at NYU School of Continuing and Professional Studies? They have a lot of programs in Finance, IT, Marketing and many more areas. Is it worthy the time and money to get such a certificate?
Best Regards,
Peter

First week of working as a warehouse associate has passed. This job sucks... This is a dead end job! I will have to look for a programming job again. No giving up this time!!!

I do not think I can afford Columbia right now, especially after over one year without a job...

Thanks everybody for replying to my post. I live in New York and I am ready to relocate to any state. I applied for many jobs outside Tri-State area (NY, NJ, CT). Well, I think I sent my resume to every state, maybe excepting Alaska. I received some responses saying they consider only local candidates, even if I would like to pay all expenses on my own.
About New York... I tried almost everything - local stores, small businesses, friends, etc. Unfortunately, it seems I came everywhere too late. Everybody already had a systems administrator, IT Consultant or web developer, or simply wasn't interested in my offer.
So finally I gave up...
Again, thanks everybody for advice and cheering me up.

Are there any jobs for entry level IT professionals? I don't think so.
After over 3 years since I got my Bachelor degree in computer science I am tired of looking for a job as a programmer, developer, analyst etc.
I tried everything - learned new stuff like .Net, sent thousands of applications and resumes and nothing - just couple interviews and no job.
Lately I found a job... I will unload trailers in a warehouse. No it's not a joke, it's life... I will make less than $10 per hour... If I just could make $10 as a programmer, it would be great...
I like programming, math, solving problems, but unfortunately I will have to do something that I don't think I will like. Well, at least that job will pay my bills.
I was thinking about Masters in CS, some certifications (I am SCJP), but what for? There is no room for entry level IT professionals in todays job market (unless you have a degree from an Ivy League school).
Maybe in meantime I will look for something else and one day I might post a new topic in this forum informing that I found a job in IT industry. The problem is that I don't know if I am strong enough to look for a job in IT industry again - I have spent last three years doing it...
For now I am going to my warehouse - packages are waiting to be unloaded from a trailer.
Good luck everybody.
Peter
