Ask HN: Is a Masters in CS/Engineering worth it for a mid-career PM?

I’m a PM & designer in his late 30s who is itching to get into deep tech (BCI, AI, aerospace, medtech, etc). I have no background in engineering and am considering pursuing a masters either in CS or similar.

Has anyone here done this mid-career? Was it worth it?
