Is a conversion course for cs worth it?

Hi guys,

I'm currently interested in a post grad course in computer science (i've always had an interest in it blah blah...)

What would employers think of me with only an MSc in computer science, would I be employable? Or need more experience

(Btw my first degree was a 1st class in Law)

Do you have a portfolio of project work? Do you know several languages, technologies and libraries? Do you understand the fundamentals behind your code? Do you understand algorithms and data structures? Then no, it's not worth it. You should be able to get a job.

If none of those things are true and you don't want to put in the independent time to make them come into fruition (except maybe the portfolio thing, that's kinda crucial) then sure a one year crash course might be worth it.
