How important is a degree from a top CS school in regards to getting a job at a FAANG company?
Should I just stay at my current school and practice leetcode every day until I graduate instead?
My bachelors and work experience are not relevant.
See if you can find out where previous graduates of your current masters ended up, and compare it to the Georgia Tech masters. If dropping out and moving on will lead to a genuine step change in your career prospects, give it serious consideration. If it will just result in more debt and more stress for broadly similar prospects (assuming you get accepted and then succeed at the new course), just focus on learning and being employable from where you are.
I'm based in Europe so I don't know what the jobs market in the USA is truly like. I have to ask though, is it really that important to get a job at a FAANG company?
Is it genuinely the case that you won't find interesting, fulfilling and well-paid work outside of Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google? Are you even sure that you will have a great job in one of those five places?
Good-but-not-top-tier universities routinely produce very good graduates with very good prospects. Boring companies have a lot of interesting problems to solve, and lots of them let you wear jeans to work too. Google has plenty of drudgery and office politics.
If the companies you're aiming for will not consider you unless you went to one of a select few expensive elite universities, that's probably not a great reflection on them either.
In other words, in the Wild West, you must make your own toil.
Beyond that, you're going to be starting over, and frankly the GA Tech experience isn't very good in any way -- speaking as a student that's half way through the program.
