Go back for a degree?
Hello!
Just graduated from a 2 year diploma program in Canada (programming).
Got bridged in from coop to a developer job with the government.
I was considering going back to get a degree in CS (with co-op), since I'm still in my early 20s and may not have time later.
Goal is to find better opportunities (mainly pay/TC, also something more faster paced) and was thinking that a degree would definitely help.
Another idea was to develop myself in the meantime: studying DS/A, creating a few good projects, and maybe leetcode. Then apply within a year or so of experience.
Would love some advice or thoughts! π

Never really considered grad school until now, definitely something to keep in mind. Thanks!

At the very least, having the degree is worth it just as a means of getting through autobot HR.
From the sounds of it you're forward-thinking, which also means you'll want to be able to consider pursuing a grad degree years down the road.
