This week our special guest is Dr. Max Schneider who talks to us about the pros and cons of getting a master’s degree abroad. Dr. Max Schneider is an applied statistician who earned a master’s degree in Germany and recently got his PhD in Statistics from the University of Washington. In this episode we discuss: His childhood moving from Ukraine to California and his immigrant family experience. How an internship opportunity helped him secure a Master’s degree abroad. His challenges with culture shock, climate shock, language barriers, all while studying a new discipline and commuting to his campus in Potsdam, Germany. The benefits he gained from his experience and how it’s brought him back abroad and closer to his family. And he offers advice to anyone who is interested in pursuing a graduate degree abroad.
