If not now, then soon. The MS&#x2F;MEng is for sure the new BS. I had a hiring manager from a local firm come in and say: &quot;Yes, we are hiring entry level talent right now, masters students like you guys are in high demand and....&quot;<p>The sentence betrayed his logic, that a MS is now entry level.<p>When asked if there were questions, one student said:&quot;Wait, are masters now an entry level requirement or preference?&quot;<p>He relied:&quot;Yes, they are a requirement, and they are entry level not just in terms of comapny structure, but in terms of pay too&quot;<p>This was bioengineering, by the way.
