Read a post related to zepto tech on grapevine and ended up going through their blogpost

So user @fiercyfirefox made a post discussing if zepto tech is good or bad (https://www.grapevine.in/post/zepto-tech-is-facing-really-bad-tech-debt-203ac312-9aa3-45dd-bb26-7eeab2c9c533) Somehow ended up at their blogpost and immediately the second article caught my eye ( https://blog.zeptonow.com/everything-was-fine-until-kubernetes-said-no-more-cpu-3768cda76326 ). Now I'm kinda sus about how good are their engineering practices. Not throwing shades or anything, just want folks to weigh in their thoughts (I understand that when things are going at breakneck pace and high burn, good practices must take the backseat and just getting things to launch take the front seat; however after a while certain guardrails should be setup to allow high velocity without having high fatality) (The issue they faced is something that uber already faced and wrote a blog about, along with their own tooling -> https://github.com/uber-go/automaxprocs) (and also a few months back someone had posted a similar issue on r/golang)

Masters in the US vs. Switching Jobs – Need Advice

YOE: 4 (2 in Frontend Dev, 2 in UX/Product Design) Current Role: Accenture Looking for: Product Design / UX Design Roles Hey folks, I’m currently stuck at a crossroads and could really use some perspective. I’ve been trying to transition into UX/Product Design from a frontend dev background. I technically have 2 years of YOE in UX, but I haven’t been able to work on solid, real-world design projects. My team at Accenture barely gets design-focused work, so I often end up getting pushed into random support roles—mostly Excel-based tasks just so it doesn't look like I’m on the bench. It's frustrating and honestly demotivating. My current monthly takeaway is a little less than 45k, which feels too low for my experience and skillset. I’m grateful to be employed, but I’m not growing in the direction I want. I recently got admitted to UT Austin for Fall ‘25. UTA is known to be a really good uni and a little easy on the pockets as their RA/TA postions are known to waive off full/partial tuition for the semester. I know the job market isn’t great globally, and going for a master’s is a huge financial and life decision. But I’m also tired of being stuck. I’m weighing two options: 1. Try switching jobs now and hope to land something in UX/Product Design 2. Go for the master’s and try to fully pivot into UX in the US (and other places, I'll be applying everywhere lol) , hopefully the market has course corrected or atleast become a little better than now Would love to hear from anyone who’s been in a similar spot. Is it worth holding out for a better role here, or should I go all-in on the master's?
