Seeking advice: can I do my Masters in abroad
my_qualifications: I graduated in 2022 from a tier-2 college and have been working for the past 2.5 years. I'm currently earning about 1.15L per month and have saved around 18L. Recently, I received an offer from a rival company with a package of 23L, but I decided to stay with my current company since I'll likely receive a similar hike in 2025.
I've been considering pursuing an MS in Computer Science in the US, primarily for financial reasons. Coming from a lower-middle-class background with no financial backup, my plan was to work in the US for 8-10 years, save in a stronger currency, and eventually return to India. However, I've been hearing from friends who recently went to the US that the job market for international students is quite tough now. It seems the job situation in Europe and the UK has also become more challenging compared to a few years ago.
I've looked into other countries like the Middle East and Singapore, but it seems there are fewer R&D opportunities compared to the US or India. My concern is that if I move abroad for better pay but end up in non-R&D roles, it could impact my career when I return to India. I understand that the first 10 years of a career are crucial in the long run.
At 25, I feel like this is the right time for me, and I'm confused between these options. I would greatly appreciate your thoughts or guidance on what path might be the best to take.
Thanks for your time and advice.
