[QUOTE="whatsinaname, post: 1799300, member: 11089"] The work experience is never a negative and will not count as a gap. It might even help you get into better universities because it shows dedication to come back to get a Masters after working for a bit. Don't get hung up on what you call a BE from a "B-Grade" college. 3 years out, it doesn't matter too much in the larger scheme of things. You should break it down into why you are considering an MS in the US. 1) Pay increase - Like others have said, the fees in the education system in the US has gotten so high that if you are considering it only from a monetary aspect (i.e., as a step to a higher paycheck), I don't think the ROI is positive. You have to consider the cost of the education, the opportunity cost of two years of lost income (if you are studying full time) and the increase in pay that 2 additional years of experience would have brought you. 2) Switch in the type of job - If you want to move to a more research oriented role or technical role, the Masters will definitely help (though for a really good research position, you might have to continue onto a Phd). 3) A path to moving to the US - This is something you have to decide for yourself. Is it worth going into debt of 30 lacs or so? Do you anticipate life in the US to be that much better? 4) My friends are going - I would suggest you save some money and make a nice long holiday visit to the US to meet with your friends. Edit: I seem to have answered mostly from the perspective of studying in the US but it should apply to other countries as well. So :%s/US/Canada,Australia,UK/g [/QUOTE]
