I’m a SDE with 2 yoe. I work at a top place in India and am quite well satisfied with my work (compensation & learning wise both). I see a lot of my friends now starting to move abroad for their MS. I know the drill in general, that MS in CS is just a 1 crore rupee entry ticket people pay to get access to the US job market (of course there is learning involved, but MS in CS isnt really a research course). I can see that most people who do this do it because they’re unable to find a top job here or are dissatisfied.
At times I feel, will I miss out if I don’t abroad at the right time? Then sometimes when logic prevails, I realise I gain very little by going abroad (maybe a lifestyle increase due to being in a first world).
My question to you all : Would you be willing to move abroad even if you got/have a top job here in India?
General rule I follow : If you're in doubt, the answer is NO.
If the top place is any US based company. You will or might get a chance to move there. FOMO is usual human nature. But thinking 24*7 is not a best way forward.

There's obviously the advantages of making more money and having a better lifestyle.
But given the sacrifice on your circle of friends and family in India, is over indexing on just professional outcomes a sensible enough thing to do?
