Dilemma for Mtech

There are two kinds of runners in life — one runs to escape, the other runs because they love the journey. I fall in the second category.

At 4 years of experience, I’m earning ~20 LPA, but growth seems limited in next 3-4 years without moving into management — which I’m not inclined toward.

I’m considering an MTech despite the high opportunity cost (10L+ in fees, ~40L lost salary) because in the long run, it may help me break into top product companies — something my tier-3 background is currently blocking.

Open to thoughts or suggestions from anyone who’s taken a similar path.

I am sap technical consultant rn, 25 years of age.
