Which would serve me better moneywise 8 years down the road????

Taking the SDE2 Role at Amazon which i recently cracked (24lk base + 8lk joining + stocks(30k)(4 yrs vested) )
VS
MS in US(around 40 lakh investment for 2years) and then work on F1 + H1B for 6 years in US??(I assume i would save around 40 lakhs each year)

There is also a possiblity of transfering from Amazon India to US although there is no certainity here. How easy/difficult it is to transfer from amazon India to US.???

YOE :: 3 years

    If joining Amazon, try to negotiate for more TC. Joining bonus can easily be increased

    What is the reasoning behind looking at the horizon of 8 years? You'd want to return to India by then ?

      It will take you 5 years to recover the sunk cost of not working + MS expenses + setting back your career by a couple years.
      I'm guessing you'd have 3(maybe 4?) YOE by the time you leave for studying add 1.5 more for MS, not sure if G/Uber or the likes will still give you an entry level.
      6 years of working in the US seems just about right in terms of the finances to break even with what you can save in India.

    This year, there were more than 300,000 applications for H1B and out of that USCIS needed to pick 85,000. So year by year number of applications is going to increase. If you want to move to US, think of other ways.
