Hello Jakob, thank you for your kind words.

Actually I had a gap of 6 years between my BSc and MSc and that was on purpose.

I wanted to first work in the industry to see what I like more. Otherwise I see MSc as a good revision any BSc concepts that I have not managed to internalize yet. I also wanted to find the money to fund it.

Another unintentional benefit was that the field has progressed so I had the chance to learn about concepts that I might have not worked with otherwise, at least hands-on. For example, IoT was very futuristic when I joined my BSc, but we now have core lessons around it in my MSc.

Hope it helps.
