If you want a senior position in a tech firm, then you need an industry (ie operational) job. I person I know whom was a brilliant software developer made it to the top and he doesn't even have a bachelor's degree (dropped out) let alone a master's degree. He rubbed shoulders with Steve Jobs at Apple (prior to Jobs ouster) and now holds a very senior position in silicon valley.
Go to Silicon Valley. |

thanks for the advice, but it sounds like your friend was a special case. I am by no means a brilliant software developer...
also i don't want to rely on impressing a bigshot.
It'd be great if that stuff happened, but I'm trying to take a more structured approach. I think a lot of people go to Silicon Valley and end up stuck in coding jobs that don't go anywhere, until the next bubble bursts and they get laid off.
