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 it’s worth it or should I look for switch to get out that fomo? It’s 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)

Bhai sab ki life ke L lage pade hain. Grass is always greener on the other side.

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
