Stay in India or pursue masters in HCI abroad?
I always planned on doing masters after completing two years of experience. But with the current market scenario, is it worth going to USA to pursue masters in HCI ? I’m stressed about not getting h1b visa and also having to pay the loan if the market continues to be bad. Also, would love to know if anyone has done and is practicing as a ux designer in Germany, Netherlands? What are the prospects in Europe?
For context: Bachelors in Communication design Years of experience: 2 (product design) at reputed companies

Not worth to take a loan and go abroad in today’s scenario. Most people are returning back with a huge loan and looking for jobs in India then. Design is taught the same in any country. Those who go abroad to enjoy and their families can afford thats a different thing. But not worth to take a loan
Worth if you get 100k+ job in FAANG (not common now)
Which is similar to getting 30LPA in India.
Stay in india. Get a masters from IIT Bombay. Crack Microsoft/Google and enjoy good salary and healthy life.
You might even get a chance to move to US/Europe if not, earn save and travel the world.
Wouldn’t want to pursue a masters degree in design from India. Since I already have a formal bachelors degree and the course content is more or less the same for bachelors and masters. Would rather learn on the job.
Only ever thought of pursuing it abroad because student visa is (or atleast used to be) the best way to get hired in the USA
Hey what did u end up doing? I'm in the exact same boat as you
