I have Yolks not Brains!
I know it should be in career thread, but need to get answers quickly .
I have to make a decision by tomorrow .
About myself..
10- 73 %
12 - 88 %
BE - 75 % (from an ordinary college)
Currently - Working in SAP Labs, 3 years exp.
Salary : Around 8 lakh
Issues : I work in a relatively new product , so there isn't much scope outside of SAP,
I mean out product has not been implemented much yet, so my scope is less.
But it's changing and opportunities should come in next 2-3 years.
Dilemma : Have an offer with IBM Kolkata, offering around 10.5 lakh.
It's not too tempting money wise, but I will get implementation experience which would be beneficial in career later on.
I'm planning to change in 2 years.
From what I have evaluated , if I stay in the same domain , I would not have too much of scope for next 5 years.
And changing domain now would be difficult .
Now I am planning to do M.S.
-Part of the reason is to learn new stuff.
I'm bored with the kind of work I do, there's no way to innovate anything. Career growth isn't much.
-But another part is to earn more and have a decent life abroad. Moolah is a motivator here to be honest.
- And I do not want to regret having missed out on doing a masters maybe after 5 years or so .
Now here are my questions:
-> If I prepare for GRE next year and go for M.S. in 2015, I would have 5 year exp by then? Will it be an issue, negative factor?
-> How much loan will have to take. I'm from a middle class family , so don't have much saved.
-> I don't have any papers published and all, and I've given my academic record. So how much should I aim in GRE? and What other things i should start working on ?
-> If I do get into a top 10 university, what are the chances of landing a job. I do not want to end up with no job and huge debt.
-> Is it worth taking so much loan ?
I have a stable life now, if not fully satisfactory. Is it worth leaving all this and start a new course in career.
Thanks
