2.6 years of Work experience as Software Engineer in WITCH Company handling the middleware and some devops operations in my project.
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.
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 .
Depends on university and country. If you have admit from the top 10 schools (likes of UC Berkeley / CMU / UT Austin), yes absolutely. This would not only enhance your knowledge and exposure, you can switch to better companies with higher pay

If you consider this website for top HCI universities then yeah I guess it's in top 10 - I have admits from IUB, Iowa
Did you get any RA or scholarship? How much is the tuition for entire studies?
Kyo bhai?
