Confused about MS vs PhD

Sorry for the long post!

Hi, I'm in India. I completed my bachelors in biotechnology and am in the first month of masters in genetic engineering. Initially I had no plan to join masters in India, instead I thought of pursuing MS abroad. As I could only apply for programs for September 2024, I thought a gap year would decrease my chances of getting into any program and would not look nice on my resume. As time went by, I panicked and got into genetic engineering masters. This is where I came to know it is a research-oriented program unlike biotechnology and must do a PhD afterwards. I don't even know what the career scope for genetic engineering might be. Now, I'm in a dilemma that I should continue my masters for two years and do a PhD abroad or do any internship for a year and get into masters in biotechnology abroad (specifically US) for September 2024 and directly go for an industry?! Any suggestions are welcome!
