Should I do MS ?
Currently with 3+ yrs of experience and earning around 36 LPA ( 28 fixed and 8 esops ). Getting a feeling like I am not earning enough and also I am getting a FOMO looking at my friends who are doing MS and settled in US. I want to experience it, but not sure if itโs worth it or should I look for switch to get out that fomo? Itโs now or never for doing MS as I am will be getting almost 4-5 yrs experience in next few years. Also, Feeling like I am getting old for MS Please give suggestions.
Make good money in the US. Come back to
India and leave most of your money in your robinhood account.

Can there be an alternative like : work for a US based company while living in India (remote) with a package similar to US (above or equal $100k =84 lacs INR )
Would love to know your opinion on this? (As well as recommendations if any)

Trust me you are not losing anything if the only reason you want to do MS is out of complexity from your friends.
If you have other solid reasons to do MS, then yes should definitely go for it. It is better to do it than to live in regret a few years down the line.
Not earning enough? Lol. If u decide to do MS only out of FOMO then u will regret it. Find better reasons and at the end of day if u just want high networth in ur circle then surely go for MS

@CautiousBelt What's your story?
I have an MS from a top 10 CS school, and yet I find it not that useful in job search. In hiring manager rounds, no one has brought up my university or credential til now. Pro-tip: If you are doing MS for the sake of it, you will find it hard. Trust me , the assignment and final project for each course are quite hard, and the final thesis is literally hell. Do MS for expanding your knowledge or to get into research, not for peer pressure!

You are at the best point in your career for doing MS. People with generally 3 to 4 years pursue it, as they associate the curriculum better. Don't think of it as a tool to increase your salary. Think of it as learning better things from the experience of faculties there and most importantly the peers there. You may also be able to pivot your career if you want to. These are the benefits to an experienced candidate.
