MS in US or YOE in india ?

May 12, 2021 7 Comments

My goal is to to someday create and build my own startup or with a co-founder.
I am currently in a dilemma if I should do a masters and get some exposure from US work culture and network ( it may just be FOMO of missing out since many of my batchmates are doing so )
Or should I just switch roles and gain more experience here.

Would like to know if the masters title helps in investment/pitches?

In case startup scene fails,
Does the MS help in gaining promotions 5-6 years down the road?

Staying in US is not a priority. Just need ROI of masters.I will want to come back to India someday coz of the social circle and family here anyway

Location : Bangalore
TC : 20LPA
YOE : 2

    Once you come to US, you ain't going back (provided you spend 5+ years at least).

    And if you remain here, even with $5M you are still Middle class.

    Whether life is better or not, it's quite subjective and varies from person to person.

    its hard to go back to india..especially after marriage...masters is only good if from elite college...after few years of experience education doesn't matter that much

  • I love my life in US. Quality of life is a very objective parameter. Yes, you spend in dollars but you also get a better lifestyle.

    I have more freedom, away from family has its perks. You can really do the independent thing.

    If you wanna do the startup thing, stay in India, it'll take a while for you to get a green card for your startup aspirations. 6-7 years down the line, unless you get married to an American citizen.
