So keeping it short, I was from tier 3 college in India, always believed that MS was waste of time and also i couldn't afford the heavy loan.No good company visits our college for campus placement, so why to even bother for GPA, so i just focused on competitive programming and got into google , But i have seen many (literally everyone who cannot get opportunity in india) of my friends even tho from tier 3 but having rich background can afford MS in foreign countries , is going for MS. but does doing MS really helps, as for SWE as far as I know, they still have to pass the bar right?? so what's the catch here ?? are foreigners dumb as compared to indians (I dont think so) ?? why do candidates prefer MS instead of practicing leetcode and codeforces in their own country.

Why do you think people go for undergrad when they can be LC monkey right after their high school?
They’ve got a head start, avoided rat race in India, pay is 5x for same work.
Any comments on h1 or pr? that' isn't gonna happen. Not worth it of 20 yrs grind
Us is much expensive plus alot h1b and further visa hurdles not worth it if you're doing well here. That it seems to be 60k in india you're top 1% of 1% be grateful towards it. Pursue hobbies lead happy positive Life.( Pls guys don't throw bs. That money does matter. Yes it does Chase Money. I get it.. but for op it doesn't really matter.. )
Thanks , but my main concern is bar low in US as compared to India or are indians comparatively more talented there ??
The bar is pretty low in US compared to India. I got in easily to Google US, but, would have a difficult time getting into Google India.
I am on the same boat as OP. My below average cousins are making 100k TC FAANG job right after MS whereas I have to grind leetcode, LLD, HLD to get 50k job in indian startup with enormous competition.
For the same level among my coworkers, I've noticed that Indian engineers in India and those in the US on L1 (transfer) are smarter than the ones who are there on H1B after an MS, mostly.
ohh, wow !! did not expected that, I thought google bar is same through out all locations.
