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

Hello everyone, I’m planning to move to US for my Masters degree in computer science and I wanted to know what the job scene is like for engineers with a masters degree and 2-3 years of experience. Also wanted to know how the situation is going to change in the coming two years.

US Hiring scene right now?

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?

Masters in US or Software 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!

MSCS IN USA or Stay in India

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?

MS in CS at US or stay in India?

I am currently in my pre final year  and from teir 2 college want to know if it is better to do ms or mtech in us after graduation and I am not interested in reasearch just want a job in it sector

Ms vs Mtech

Is it a good decision to pursue Masters in US after 10 years of IT experience to move to US? Will it pay well after 10+2 yrs(MS) ?

If want to settle in US!

Consultant

I am 22yo and just graduated from a tier 3 college with Btech degree. Currently placed in a startup as a Frontend Engineer CTC 7LPA remote. I am confused should I prepare for masters and do that or should I work hard in FE and switch after 1-2 year for better pay. 
And what one should do? Masters in Cs or MBA , I know both are different but still confused.

Confuses about Masters/Job

Frontend Engineer

Hi,

I want to work in either US or European countries. Is it possible to land there without doing masters? I am a software engineer and financially it’s hard for me to go for masters. Is it possible that I can apply from here and land a job in any of the companies in other countries?

I have 3.5 years of experience and I am confused whether I should do masters or keep working in tech?

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 🙏

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Guys. Please suggest. I have been working in wipro since the last 4 years without much career growth. I'm planning to do an ms in cs next year , i.e fall 2025 . I wanna pursue an ms  primarly bcoz of current stagnant career so that I can eventually switch to a good product based company post my masters in usa. And ,  also bcoz I can bear the costs financially. But I'm really scared to start all over again . I'll be 27 by the time I start my masters. Is it a good decision to start masters at 27? Will I be able to secure a core entry level SDE job in product based companies at the age of 29? 

Please guide me

Need suggestion: wanna pursue master's cs in usa at 27 , With 5yeo

Salesforce Developer

I just graduated (2023 batch) from electrical engineering and got a job through campus placement in a service based company. I want to pursue MS in a computer related field.So can anyone guide me. Where to start, which country will be good( I belong from a middle class family..so affordable option Please) what exams or scholarship I can apply for. My btech gpa was 9.35 . Thank you in advance for your reply

Help me with a roadmap

I am currently working (2 yoe) at a decent service based startup (CTC 7L) but I feel like I could do much better. This job feels easy (nothing new to learn).

#background
I graduated in electrical from a tire II college, since I fell in ♥️ coding (thanks to robotics club and YouTube) i choose this career, but now looking at all the other profiles I feel i am not getting access to those cheese jobs, kind of those that have high scope to learn and earn. 

So I feel like getting into a top college and getting a masters in CS might help me. 

What do you all think ?

[Thinking about Germany because of no tuition fees and safety]

Should I do MS abroad ?

Backend Engineer

I have a strong passion in tech. I’m almost a nerd. The thing is, I never wanted to study the conventional indian way and therefore I don’t have a good academic record. 
10th : 8.8 gpa
12th: 71 %
Joined a civil course even though i loved tech, regretted and moved to another university after completing 2 years of civil.
Completed graduation with a degree in ECE and an 8.1 GPA due to covid.

My professional record is quite average with a 12.65 LPA offer as an SDE, 1 YOE.

The thing is, I crave money.  The current market situation and the opportunities available currently does not seem decent for me to switch and get a 20~30 LPA job.

Therefore I am considering higher studies. I need some advice from people who have been there and done that.

Share your opinion/suggestions, lets discuss!

Is MS from Us/Canada/anywhere worth it?

Will the recession conditions will be alright around then? If any of your friends or relatives are working there or if you have any idea so please help me out I am a fresher, don't have a full time job right now doing internship will apply for only the top universities in US, I will get in most likely as per my profile. But is it recommendable to go in 2025 because people are not getting and jobs or internships there at all. Even from good colleges. Or should I stay here and prepare for GATE.

Should I go for MS in USA for fall 2025 intake?

Hi Grapeviners,
I would like to hear some suggestions on what should I do next.
I am an non-IT engineering graduate, got into an MNC (witch) for 3.5LPA, was onboarded for a support role after clearing all mandatory  trainings and tests, where majority of my work revolves around filling Excel sheets and scheduling support calls.
After a lots of struggle I was relieved from that project(after 1year 5 months). After that I joined a python automation script development team

My current python team is going very well, i get to dirty my hands with code in python.
It's been 6months in python team. Over all 2years spend in same company, when I try to switch for other company, I feel like I'm no where close to their requirements, my only skill is python application automation using respective modules, with months of experience.

Most of the roles I see are having different different combinations of tools and technologies. 

I also know medium level DSA.

Please suggest what should I do so that I can switch companies.
