Earning 35lpa in India at 28 age. Being ambitious, I wanted to be in the USA. Does the American dream still exist.

Current TC: ₹35 LPA fixed [IND] YOE: 5.5 I am right now 28 years old and want to pursue MS. But I'm kind of confused. Is this the right age to pursue MS now? As I will be graduating at 30 and after paying loan at 31 will be starting again from 0. Also VISA stress and marriage problem (Yes, I want to be stable at the right time) after 31, all the struggle in the USA. Is it worth going for MS now considering my current salary in India. Also I could use these 3 years to build something of my own in India. I am very much ambitious, love my work and want to grow. I have good salary, but not really happy with growth, always feels I could have done better in USA as you get better work and appreciated/promoted for your work/skills (correct me if I am wrong) which is very less in India. How is the scenario in the USA right now and will be. VISA stress hyped or is really the situation that much worse over there? Does American dream still exists? Should I still consider pursuing MS at this point? Or should consider option of applying for job to EU/UK directly from India. How realistic is it to get job directly from here in India. I could be earning less than USA but would be a lot stable. I do not want to stay in India. I want to live better lifestyle. #MS #Software #Help #CS #Engineering #SDE #google #microsoft #faang #amazon #tech #graduation

Definitely don’t go for MS. It doesn’t make much financial sense. Do it if you want to genuinely learn or get into research. Try looking for direct job opportunities/ transfers to other countries.

Its hard to get direct opportunity in USA or transfer nowadays. Regrading finacial, isn't that with little patience (till completing MS) I could start earning high salary in USA

Given the current job market and hiring trends, I highly doubt that. There are just way too many people you’ll be competing against. Its not impossible but I don’t think its worth the struggle (both financially and mentally). Your current TC is on par with what you’ll make here PPP-wise.

Please don't come. You won't get it and will ruin what little is left.

The time to go for MS to just settle in US are long gone mate. India is where all the action is today. Work hard and get into any top paying job. You will forget about USA.
