Want to pursue Masters in Europe

Guys,

I'm in Mid life crisis, Need some valid suggestions or advice.

I'm into Mobile App Development right after my college it's been 6 years plus.

From early of my career planned to pursue MBA especially wanted to be a product manager.

But thinking either it's a good option to switch product management role or stay in Tech.

Hahaha fir toh pakka midlife chal raha hai I'm pursuing my masters from HEC Paris. Here are my honest and unfiltered thoughts:

  • Ask yourself why do you really need a masters. If the answer is to switch to a business role- ask yourself why can't you make the cut as of now (most often it's not the degree)?
  • Why Europe? Setting down in Spain/ France isn't going to be easy from a visa and language POV. It's gonna cost a bomb. Really understand why'd you want to spend that money?

Not right now as market in EU is not in a hiring spree. It is better to wait off till 2025 spring. Till then you can definitely give tofel or ielts or gre and get ready.

A plus would be to learn the lccal language, i am learning dutch because i am targeting Netherlands

What you think about getting job directly somewhere read that even big corporates won't provide work visa that easy.

@WickedJungle i dont see that happening anymore because india is a cheap centre for them and work is flowing in on promises of cheap labor.

Plus its too much hassle and boot licking and waiting involved when you ask your manager to sponsor for a role in pacific which can be negative ROI when compared to changing jobs and switching to better packages even if it means staying in India.

Please travel solo on an extended break if you have recognized its midlife crisis. Better to have spend a large amount in European MBA which honestly isn't really strong at the moment, unless it's INSEAD. Instead spend 0.01 - 0.001% of the mba and living fees to solo travel for 1-2 months. Doing an MBA for the sake of finding life purpose can necessarily not be a fruitful effort
