    Masters is such a shit show unless it’s from top colleges like Standord, Berkley. Otherwise it’s just an entry mechanism for US. Ask for an internal transfer for US through L1. Then ask for H1B (Lottery for 3 years, many people get it in 3 years otherwise you can extend L1 by 2 ) and move to a different company with TC bump. If you really want to study do a PhD, all this masters bullshit is for people who can’t get into top companies in India and have no other means of moving to the US.

    That said If you still want to do a Masters, do an online one from India and use it in your H1B application, the application just cares about a master’s degree not offline or online.

    • Lol. This person know nothing. Just hate some of his peers who did masters maybe. You are only considered for h1b masters quota if you have masters from US. Any other country doesn't work

      @Microsoft. Online Masters from Georgia Tech is same as offline for H1B quota. Everyone understood expect you. FYI I have a offline masters from Georgia Tech and one of my juniors in college took the online route and got his H1B through masters quota.

  • What are your reasons to pursue masters? Learning? To settle in US?
