US for MS vs 10 LPA Job in India?

I'm currently working as a software engineer in India, with TC 45LPA and 2 years of experience. I'm thinking about applying for a Master's in CS in the USA for fall 2024. But I'm not sure if I want to settle there or not currently. Should I make the move considering things are going well in India? Getting a job directly in the US seems close to impossible. Any advice? Thanks!

Hi, I am currently working as an software developer (5+ years experience)with around 40LPA CTC. Most of the people in my circle have gone there 2-3 years back. Now I am having a fear of missing out, I applied for a few universities and I have got an admit in MS in CS. Is it worth it to migrate to another country and start again at this point of my career? What is your opinion on work in USA compared to India? Need some experienced folks with honest answers please.

Hello guys, I'm planning to move to the USA through a consultancy. I have applied for a visa and it got picked up a few months back. Now I'm in the process of visa interview. I make 20 LPA in India. Is it a good idea to leave this job and move to USA to get a better job?

Confused if i should go for MS CS from USA or stay in India, how would you decide? I have almost 5 years of experience as a software engineer in India. Its been a long time now, that i am confused if i should go to US for MS considering i will have to take up a loan of 50 lakhs. Also the layoffs are here, probably scenario will be good once the MS is over (May ‘24) , and i might be able to repay the loan. It seems like a huge step and a risky one. My motivation for US are 1. Foreign Exposure and Experience 2. Bank Balance for better retirement in India As IT is uncertain and we never know what might happen in future. What are your thoughts on this, what factors should i consider?

Title says it all Wanted to know about your opinions on same. I could list some things which came on top of my mind - Pros of Software Engineer job in India- 1. Good salary 2. Folks are friendly and helpful generally 3. Living near to family Cons- 1. WLB is non existent in most private companies. 2. Pollution in Delhi NCR 3. Politics and favouritism in workplace 4. Immense competition to get/switch job Also considering the layoffs and difficult job market in US, Is it worth to take a huge loan and leave all the comforts?

Should we go to USA for better life?? Even if we have job in india with 25LPA.

The IT companies seem to be reluctant to send on-site and US companies are not hiring international grads, so MS is also not a good option anymore. What’s the solution then for folks who want to atleast work abroad, leaving out the PR/GC option for now.

My partner works at a product company that has a US HQ quite close to where I live and work. She is what you would call a critical resource of the company leading and driving multiple projects. She likes her role and while she will be relocating to US, wants to do everything to keep it in one way or another. Besides from the usual process of submitting resignation, how can she make effective use of the fact that she could potentially move here internally on an L1 visa or worst case keep connections warm and re-apply for a role here after relocating to US. Anything better than notice period and severing all ties. My perception of moving internally to US/Europe has been that its not only extremely difficult because companies here would prefer having an India cost center given its layoff/recession season in US but also due to the challenge of headcount requirements in the same business unit. Besides an L1 application costs about $15k. All of these factors make things trickier for her to keep her job in some form or the other. How should she make the most of this situation? Are there any other outcomes here that I am missing?

I'm a 28-year-old data scientist with approximately five years of experience, and I'm considering the pursuit of a Master's degree in the USA. My plan involves participating in a pathway program, beginning with three months of coursework at IIT Jaipur, followed by one year of studies at Drexel University in the United States, with a focus on Machine Learning Engineering. However, it's important to mention that Drexel University is currently ranked 98th in the United States. What are your thoughts on whether I should proceed with this plan, considering my age and experience? Furthermore, I'm curious about your perspective on the expected salary range for someone of my age and experience in the USA, given my current salary of around 25 lakhs per annum (LPA) in India.
