M.Sc. Abroad - affect me jobwise?

Graduate School
1

<p>Hello all, </p>

<p>I am a second year Computer Science student at UC San Diego. I have started (already...) looking into grad school and I have been thinking about applying to graduate schools abroad.
A few names I have in mind:</p>

<p>-University of Toronto, Canada
-McGill University, Canada
-University of Sydney, Australia
-University College, London, UK
-University of New South Wales, Australia</p>

<p>I want to know if by doing so it will risk my chances for future employment in the US. Ideally, I'd like to end up in SoCal (grew up here) or Silicon Valley. </p>

<p>Thanks for the input!</p>

<p>This is an interesting question. When I was working in a research lab in France, I was told by a leading professor from Georgia Tech that some european Ph.D’s are very good. You have professors at US institutions like MIT from ETH-Zurich… so I am under the impression that a reputable international school won’t limit your chances internationally.
Keep in mind that you can study abroad, while doing graduate studies at a US institution, as I know people who have done this, I know Georgia Tech has a program for this.</p>
