- For the person comparing CMU and MILA. CMU MCDS may be one of the top programs, but the ROI sucks. To be an actual data scientist in top firms, you need a PhD. An MCDS degree would probably fetch you a job in data science teams, but doing only a portion of the work of a data scientist in full, in a team led by a proper lead data scientist who works on the actual research part. Not sure how far true this is, but it seems like for data scientist positions where it matters, PhD is the norm. Also, CMU and MILA stand no comparison. Mila pays close to 32k per year if I am not wrong, and also pays for your laptop close to 2000cad. As for the job prospects after MILA MS, it may not be as much as US, but MILA is tied to Deepmind, Google and Google brain, FAIr, Microsoft ai research, etc and many graduates also go on to work at Bengio's element startup which is one of the upcoming AI unicorns. That said, with just MS from MILA I am not sure how your chances are in working in the US Post MS. If you do a PhD at MILA, you can do a postdoc at Google brain or FAIR or some University in US and then take up industry or academia position in the US itself. In case of CMU, you'd be graduating with about 80k in debt. Mila provides you debt free graduation and also if you did impressive research work, you can even get into Google type of companies in Canada in research engineer positions and continue publishing as part of the research teams.
