Is Master for USa woth it orAustralia worth it- Grapevine

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

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.

masters in USA

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

So my sibling is about to graduate with a degree in Computer Science from a T2 college in a few months and wants to now do MS in the US because of three reasons: 

1. Low levels of violence against women(Sexual Assault) [IMPORTANT!!]
2. Want to do innovative work in the US instead of working on copycat products in India
3. Ambition of living in the US long term because of free-er culture

But my parents have flat out refused to fund the education or even help her with a loan due to regressive mentality (nahi jaana baahar, 2-3 saal kaam karo aur shaadi karo chup chaap)

She has accepted a job offer for now and will make 14L/year. What are her options? Should she drop the idea of MS abroad?

What to do if your parents refused to fund your education(MS/MBA) abroad?

Software Developer

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!

MSCS IN USA or Stay in India

Hey so I was thinking of doing masters in Australia preferably data science or business analytics. I want to know do any of you have any idea about the job market there. I know it’s not US level but the work life balance is better there from what u have heard.

My qualifications- passed out 2022 from newer IIT, currently working as a data engineer/analyst . 

Also would love to know what about UK ?

Masters in Australia

Data engineer

So I am confused about whether I should prepare for gre and go for MS abroad or I should stay in India prepare for a job switch and maybe try for mba . Can’t decide what to do ? Tried making pros and cons list but it seems still confusing

How do I decide what I wanna do?

I'm working as a software Engineer at a startup with almost 2 YOE. Looking at most of my friends going to usa for masters right after college i felt like I'm making a mistake by not doing the same after listening software engineers earning 100K us dollars there. I thought I'll give myself two years get some work experience and then think about it but honestly I'm still confused if i should switch(which is not proving to be so simple in the current job market) or should I go for masters (again confused here in choosing between usa or Germany or Australia). Will taking almost 40 Lakhs of loan money and doing it be worth it ? Seriously damn confused about what next step to take. When I spoke with the CTO here, he advised it's not worth and you can be earning almost similar money here soon. I'd say FOMO is also a big thing here. As i tell myself let's take the risk, 2 years of study will be done soon and then work for 3-4 years , make big money , repay the loan and get back to India. I'd be having the international exposure, experiencing some above average lifestyle than India , so confused man 

Any grapeviners who might have seen people around them taking this step please suggest me what to do, any advice is greatly appreciated 🙏

Really confused about masters vs switch

I work for an MNC now. Not too high not too low salary. I have 7 yoe and I'm thinking of moving abroad considering the shit show of facilities vs taxes here. 

Any advices?

How do I shift abroad?

I am at the final stage of selecting the right Master's program to propel my career transition into product management roles within tech giants like MAANG or management consultancy positions in MBB or Big 4 firms. I intend to settle/ immigrate from India to a Western/ developed country post-MBA and finding a job will be my highest priority as I am taking a loan to finance my total fees and cost of living abroad.  
  
I have offers from  
  
1. TIAS School of Business MBA, Utrecht, Netherlands (Tuition Fee coming down to 29000 euros after scholarship),  +11000 euros for the cost of living.

Pros: 
-Strong economy and relatively less competitive job market
-Best quality of life in the world with healthcare,etc
- less stressful immigration process and life, wlb

Cons: 
-Less salary and 40% income tax
- horrible housing crisis(worse than mumbai)so a good portion of salary will go in that and will have to share a flat with people after MBA.
-The MBA and any business school in Europe after the top 3 is not greatly valued there. It's your past experience that matters so career switching will be tricky 
-weather
- socializing hurdles with locals
  
2. Duke University, NC, USA : for a Master of Science in Engineering Management Program, 66000 USD Tuition fees. The cost of living can be easily covered with part time jobs.
  
I am seeking advice to make an informed decision along with some feedback about the best place to live for me. I have heard mixed feedback on job prospects due to the current market challenges. But, a few years back the alumni from these programs got into the positions I aim to work at.  
  
Profile: 25 M. Previously worked for 6 months as a Tech Project Manager at a VC. Currently, I'm a Scrum Master at a renowned British FinTech MNC and will have 3.4 years of total full-time experience (only in leadership roles ) by the time I enroll in any course in Sept 2024. Only proficient in English, open to other languages if necessary. TIA.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Overview: 
Everyone around me, be it old school friends to the people in the bangalore startup ecosystem are planning to or already in the process of doing an MBA. 

What is happening:
Most of the people I know, either are going for a tier 1 MBA in India or colleges like “Carnegie Mellon”/ “INSEAD”/ “NUS” these are really good places. 

Why am I concerned:
I dont have great acade, GEM candidate so I have decided to not pursue CAT at all, and MBA outside India is too expensive. 

I feel like my job and career are going fine with 4 years of professional experience I am making 25LPA in marketing. I am not keen on doing an MBA but I dont want to regret later.

I consider myself to be fairly smart but what happens when I am competing with people who have great brand names on their resume and are actually smart. 

People on GV with more experience, have you gone through this struggle? 


Sidenote: I also have friends who have cleared IIM ABC, ISB and not gone, because they just wanted the admit letter. Which is brave lol!
