Hi I am planning for masters . want to be a data Engineer but which masters program should I choose I am really confused . please help me ..

[Fari]

I got confused who the interviewer was. He talked way too much. But clothes makes a huge difference. You see how he is wearing a hoodie, it just makes him look bad. Change your clothes when you have a interview guys. It makes a difference.

"Data Engineering is a subset of software engineering" not sure where that comes from?
