Hi all,

Kindly share your thoughts.

I am planning to do Masters ( CS / Data Engineering) in USA.
I want to get in to FAANGMULA after Masters.

YOE : 7
TC: 23 LPA ( $32k)
Domain : Data Engineering
Location: Bangalore
Married : Yes, wife works as SE, salary 8LPA ($11k)

Current company is EU based , so H1B or L1 option is not available.

Primary Intention of doing masters is to get Work Authorization in US.

I planned to do masters in USA after my B.Tech in 2014, but due to financial issues in Family I couldn't go for it .

    Whether you are in India or US, you need to leetcode to make it to FAANGMULA, there is no other alternative. The only advantage you get outside India is lesser competition. For your YOE, you will be given priority more than other candidates with less YOE, so take referrals and start applying. You can try SDE 2/3.

    If you want to pursue masters for other reasons(settling abroad, better QOL, more money), then that's different.

    Don't waste money + 2 years on masters , Better if you could get FANG and transfer internally or Get a job in Canada/Europe and transfer internally to US.
    All you're experience would not get you senior roles after masters , so a career down level as well

    Do leetcode with your partner for atleast 4-5 months, also you guys can help each other by discussing ideas and mock interview.

    After then start applying for SDE2 positions at Amazon and I've seen that their hiring bar in India is quite low so more chances. And once you get there, work hard and network with managers with team in Seattle and try to shift on L1.

    This guy also followed the same path:

  • IMP, not worth after 7 years if your reason is higher salary.
    Jobs are already moving out of US due to many reasons.
    India already got many SW jobs because of this reason in 2020 2021.
    Do couple of frequent switches.
    If you are good at your job you may get direct offers from countries in EU, Canada, east Asia, Australia etc
