Best country for masters

I always planned on doing masters after completing two years of experience. But with the current market scenario, is it worth going to USA to pursue masters in HCI ? I’m stressed about not getting h1b visa and also having to pay the loan if the market continues to be bad. Also, would love to know if anyone has done and is practicing as a ux designer in Germany, Netherlands? What are the prospects in Europe? For context: Bachelors in Communication design Years of experience: 2 (product design) at reputed companies

Hi guys , I am working as a Software Engineer and found interest towards UX design .So in the learning journey to switch my career into UX design.Also,I have a plan of doing MS in HCI.will it be worth it? Which country is best for HCI masters and will it give value to a UX designer?

I'm a 24yo M, into frontend engineering making over 18LPA. I'm also working part time for a startup. I'm considering masters in the UK, US or Canada on the same order of priority. my main reasons to even consider masters are the following - meet people from different backgrounds - get a better paying job with a work visa in a foreign country - FOMO as a lot of people i know from college are now abroad studying/working cons i see in this approach - heavy on the finances - economy isn't doing very well worldwide - job market is pretty bad rn - i have everything here in India (family, friends, a well paying job) my ideal case would be to get a visa sponsored job opportunity, but considering the economy and job market it seems impossible. would love to know opinions of some experienced folks or anyone who'd have some guidance for me. thanks.

My background : Work ------ 2.6 years of Work experience as Software Engineer in WITCH Company handling the middleware and some devops operations in my project. Education ----------- B.tech in CSE from a Tier 2 college I started my career a bit late compared to my peers because of some bad decisions in past but I was able to get back on track and gain industry experience . Since past year I realized I haven't grown much career wise . I had plans to pursue Masters earlier but postponed it because of COVID and I realised it's better to gain some experience before going abroad. I didn't want to pursue a traditional CS Masters degree since I wanted to explore and learn something new . That's when I came across HCI and over the months my interest in it has deepened . I did take some courses related to HCI and UX to get better understanding. Skills ------ I have fairly decent front end skillset with good basics in HTML, CSS , JavaScript and ReactJS . Started learning Figma recently I want to land jobs as UX Engineer where I do a bit of design and coding . I have got admits from good universities which have specialization in HCI . I wanted to know if it's a good decision to go for masters now and pursue this field .

Background : I am a product designer with a few years of experience in the industry. I already have a B.Des degree and I'm seeing that the standard route for people with my background is to do a masters in design. From my time working I've seen that people who are good designers irrespective of whether they have some sort of design degree or not are doing well. Which makes me unsure whether I should take up masters or not. This might be a very biased take since the sample size is very small. All in all, I wanted to understand if a masters degree holds a high valuation like in other industries.

I have three younger cousins. They don't want to code. They have their clarity. They don't want to pursue any particular engineering stream as well. They want to get a decent paying job. Let's say 6-8 lpa start with a path to 15-20 lpa in 4-5 years. I tried advising them to not invest a lot of money and four years of time in engineering. Their family is average middle class financially. I told them that I'll advise you what all to learn like content writing, seo, data analytics etc. So do a simple course, save money and rather invest in something that matters for job. They did listen but did not get confidence to act. All three went for engineering stream. These are private colleges with tier 3ish names. Now they don't get time to put a lot of time because 8-4 is usually college time. Unlike tier 1,2 college where you get campus and a lot of freedom, the colleges usually have a lot of classes and compulsory 80% type attendance. Did you face similar situation? What did you advise? Do you think I was giving them right decision?

I’m 25. Always wanted to work in a different country to explore another culture and travel. Now that I have completed two years of experience, I have been applying at jobs through referrals wherever am able to get one, mostly FAANG companies or similar which I see on have offered people jobs with sponsorship by spotting people on LinkedIn. My work background is defensive cybersecurity. I don’t want to go for a masters degree as I can’t afford it personally and don’t see it adding much value other than being a ticket to finding work locally (post study work visa). Also it will take a few years of my youth (if that makes sense lol). My preferred regions are: (most to least preferred) - UK (because I have some paternal family there) - Rest of Europe: Netherlands, Ireland. - US - Canada Any suggestions for job search/career advice are welcome.

I have been planning to go for masters and confused between masters in management at UK and European b Schools and masters in engineering management at us universities, which will be better considering that earning great money is top priority followed by living , saving , investing and come back to India in few years -Goal is product/consulting domain . Please tell me about the post Recession opportunities as well guys As I researched USA is slightly expensive than UK and some visa norms are also there which leaves me in a dilemma , Top b schools in UK/Europe that I am aspiring LBS Insead Hec Paris ESSEC Iese Top engineering management programs that can Be good highly competitive and only worth the investment are:- Dartmouth mem Duke mem Cornell mem USC mem John Hopkins mem Purdue mem Northwestern mem
