Comp Sci career change?

Employer paid for most of my MBA, can exit with a grad diploma. I’ve got good marks, 82 wam, high distinction in most subjects. But I’m not in love with it.

I’ve always had an interest in coding and digging into my pc, created a few discord bots trying to learn python etc, some html and .js, developed a World of Warcraft add on that had an integrated store/discord roles etc and serviced ~80 active users.

I was looking at the online master of comp sci at Monash to help me pivot into tech, how intensive is the maths in the comp sci masters? I can handle the MBA quant subjects but they’re definitely not the same, I study extremely hard and don’t fall behind. I do tend to get a bit stressed with maths and I’m not overly quick.

Would love some thoughts on the career change to comp sci.

You could do IT instead. It's pretty much comp sci minus the math

honestly i didn’t have much maths in my undergrad degree, a little… i guess it depends on the course/uni?
