That's really the key. I'd really rather not go back for more school, at least not until I've got some more time working.

Except for the place I'm currently working, all my offers have been for non-engineering positions, mostly quant work at banks.

I'm thinking about working for about a year or two and then going back for my masters once I have a better idea of what I want to specialize in. Hopefully whatever company I'm working for will help pay for graduate school.

Big big BIG money in quant modelling if you're good.

I noticed. All the offers were outta control, but they wanted me to go to NYC. Kind of negates the point of the extra money.

Salary + bonus (that can be 10x or more the salary) if you're good. I say do it for a few years and retire.

I'd rather work for 40 years, and spend half my time at work posting on the forums.
