Is it worth doing MS after 10 yrs of experience in software industry. Currently in India and SDET.
Wanted to have an idea about is it worth Doing MS from US. I want to switch my career from SDET to SDE and want to specialize in Distributed System.
Investment will be huge as I will be loosing 2 years of experience and salary ~ 80L and MS cost of around 30L-40L. In total it's 1cr+.
Please guide me here. I'm done with SDET now and it doesn't interest me anymore. Is it worth taking this financial risk and opportunity after MS assuming best case scenario of getting into Faang afterwards even though I have to start from scratch.

If your goal is to go us join amazon
If you get 200k that's roughly 120k-130k post tax based on which state you are in.
So that's around 10k per month. If you are spending 4k for pretty good lifestyle, then also you will save 6k.
That's 4L/month in just saving post tax. I don't have any intention to settle in US. Also what I have seen in India is you rarely get good work here and most of the good work is kept with US team.
By this rate I will be recovering my investment in 1-2 yr based on the assumption, I get 200k in one of Faang or startup.
Any inputs ..?
Ive been thinking the same
And i was told it was not worth
