Immensely. Especially early in my career I felt very different to the comp sci grads around me. I was trained to think at a systems level, about consequences, about people and processes. In the first few months it was obvious to everyone I was a leader and quickly had a team.

Somehow I felt like I was thinking about the big Picture and the ramifications for the future, those around me were just looking at a tiny problem.

It also helped immensely for talking with the Engineers at various companies.

My education was like an electrical engineer is to an electrician.
